Fried Bologna Sandwich Recipe
Fried Bologna Sandwich Ingredients
For each fried bologna sandwich, you will need:
2 slices of bread
1
slice of bologna (beef bologna fries best)
Before adding the
bologna to the pan, cut 4 slits an equal distance apart in the bologna
around the edges. Each slit should be about an inch wide. This allows
the bologna to fry without curling up.
Add the bologna. No oil is
needed. Fry both sides until the bologna is browned however you like
it. I like my fried bologna crispy and almost blackened around the
edges. My husband likes his barely browned.
Slap the slice of
bologna on the bread.
That's it! You're done and have a slice of
heaven in your hands.
Of course, this is a basic fried bologna
sandwich recipe how to. Add your choice of condiments. Both mayonnaise
and mustard are good. Some like ketchup.
Add anything else to a
fried bologna sandwich that you like on any other sandwich. You can add
cheese, (best if you melt it). American cheese is normally used, but
cheddar or any favorite cheese is good. Also try tomatoes, onions,
lettuce, or any combination. I know a few people that fry up an egg as
well and add it to a fried bologna sandwich for breakfast.
Some
people like to make theri fried bologna sandwich with toasted bread
instead of fresh bread.
Personally, my favorite version of a
fried bologna sandwich is just fried bologna and onions, with salad dressing (not mayo), on bread. I use raw onion, not caramelized. I like two slices of bologna or
thick sliced bologna, too, not just one.
(Sorry, but I got a kick out of adding the cooking term 'caramelized' in a paragraph about fried bologna sandwiches.)

That sounds like a guilty pleasure... I may have to try it.
I love fried bologna sandwiches! You are right about them not being healthy for you but every now and then I just have to have one. I fry my bologna the same as you except I also add a slit in the middle so that it will remain flat while frying. I use American cheese if I am making my triple decker bologna sandwich with onions lettuce and tomatoes. And if I am making sub-bologna-chili sandwich I use cheddar cheese with onions, lettuce and tomatoes. Both of these are ridiculously high caloried, high sodium and high cholesterol but once every few months I have to have one.
as soon as i read this i knew i had to try one and instantly skipped the rest of school to go make one at my house. i made a great double decker with cheese and some mayo and mustard and now it's probably gonna be a new staple when my parents are gone.
I am in my late sixties and have been making and eating fried balony sandwiches since I was a child. There is nothing better than two pieces of fresh bread and 2 or 3 slices of beef balony fried until it is almost burnt. An think of all those people that have never heard of it or tried it.
Using "caramelized" was funny. I'm off to saute my Bologna.. :)

Good hub!! Actually, there is or was a restaurant in my hometown of Springfield that serves a fried bologna sandwich. My wife and I have fixed this sandwich for lunch. It is pretty good. I am partial to fried bologna and cheese melt sandwich. That is great.
