Smoked Bologna

I've smoked bologna in the past but wanted to try something different this time

I tried the bologna 3 different ways...First hunk is scored, rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with peppered bacon salt....






The second piece is butterflied, spread with a cream cheese, onion, garlic mixture, then topped with minced jalapenos and bacon


Then topped with pastrami slices...


Rolled and wrapped with bacon...Smoked both with hickory.




The third batch was cubed, seasoned with pepper, dipped in beer batter and panko, then fried.








Served with jalapeno cheese, pineapple, cheddar, olives, strawberries and hot peppers...




The cream cheese, garlic, onion, jalapeno, bacon rolled bologna....





The beer batter/panko fried bologna with spicy brown mustard...




They were pretty tasty!

And that is how you turn bologna into a delicacy. I did'nt know bologna could look so good. That is simply amazing Jeanie.

You are just too much Jeanie, that looks so good, are you sure you are not a Chef some where?

Nice Job...... :)

Oh man! Yum, yum, yum!!! All three variations look delicious...


I noticed it was Bar S bologna; that brings back mixed memories. When I was forced to have to truck drive for a living for a couple of years, I used to haul the spices that go into their bologna, from the factory that created the spice mix in West Point, Mississippi, to the factory in Oklahoma, I forget what town. I'm sooo glad I'm not living in a truck anymore...

oh c'mon, don't leave us hangin'.... which was the best?

Not a huge bologna fan, but I might have to try the battered and fried ones.

Mark, thank you!
I have a pot of anasazi beans soaking...wonder if the bologna would be good cubed up and thrown into the pot too. lol

cowgirl said...

Ken, lol I'm definately not a chef. Maybe a campfire chef?

Thanks!!

cowgirl said...

JP, hauling spices sounds a lot better than hauling the other "mystery" ingredients that go into bologna. lol
Hope it didn't bring back too many bad memories for you. :)

Thanks!

cowgirl said...

Mike, I'm not a huge bologna fan either. It has been a little over a year since I last tried it. lolol

I liked the fried, but when it was hot it tasted a lot like a corndog. I liked it better cold for some reason. lol
I liked the stuffed one...the stuffing tasted like an ABT with the jalapenos, cream cheese and bacon.
The scored bologna was tasty too with the jalapeno cheese and olives.

I guess the fried might have been my favorite. :)

Thanks Mike!

Dave, thank you!
You can get pretty creative with a hunk of bologna. lol :)

I don't know Jeanie, but I'll bet you 10 bucks that I will try it sometime.

cowgirl said...

lol Mark... I just had some anasazi's with smoked bologna for supper. It wasn't bad! I used bacon drippings, onion, garlic, beef broth and a cayenne pepper like you said you tried in the mixed beans.
I liked it! :) Thanks!

You did it again! I have avoided bologna for years. I use to love the stuff as a kid. Now I have a reason to try it again only as an appitizer. Thanks!

;)S

cowgirl said...

Thank you Susan!
I kind of avoid bologna too. Have to give it a try once a year or so. lol

Awesome Job Cowgirl! Smoked bologna is one of my favorites. You added some great new spins.

Chilebrown said...

cowgirl said...

Thank you Chilebrown,

I love the recipe of the fried smoked bologna! I have smoked bologna, just smoke it with some rub on it and then slice it off and throw it on the grill with mayo and a slice of tomato from the garden~!

cowgirl said...

Thanks HillBilly! Your grilled bologna and fresh tomato sound great!! I'll give it a try.
Thanks for stopping by. :)

I saw this and was anxious to try -well long story short, I sure wish I had looked again before I made a total mess out of my chubb. You did a masterful job.
