Ingredients

  • 5- 6 pound Bologna roll
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅓ cup Steak Rub

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire to 225° to 250° using hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
  • Unwrap the bologna and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Dry with paper towels.
  • Using the tip of a knife, make slices down the length of the bologna about 1/8 inch deep, every inch around the bologna. Then make slices around the bologna to create a square or diamond pattern.
  • Spray or brush with olive oil, coating the entire roll.
  • Sprinkle with steak rub, pressing down into the cuts.
  • Place on the grill over indirect fire and cook with the grill closed 30 minutes to 1 hour, cooking until desired smoke level is reached, up to 3 hours.
  • Remove from grill and allow to cool before slicing.
  • Slice thin.
  • To fry bologna, place slices in a hot skillet, cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes per side until desired crispness.

Notes

For Fried Bologna Sandwiches: Serve fried bologna slices on bread or buns with mayonnaise or mustard and sliced cheese.
Storage:
Store sliced smoked bologna in zip top bags or vacuum sealed, in the refrigerator up to 7 days. Freeze up to 6 months.
