When making a bologna sandwich go to Viau's market in Escanaba, Michigan and get some garlic bologna, it is the best. Once you eat it you will never eat any other bologna. Trust me, it is the best.

Best dag gone bologna sandwich is to fry bologna in skillet on both sides dark. Place a piece of pepper-jack on the bologna till cheese is melted.Use your favorite type of bread add mayo, lettuce, tomato and a slice of onion. You can't go wrong. If you buy a chub of bologna you can cut it as thin or thick as you want it. I like thin my hubby thick.

Using varietal mustards, such as Grey Poupon, changes the whole nature of this sandwich. Also I use Pella Bologna (found in most large grocery stores in Iowa), and I peel it, cut it into medallions, and fry it or nuke it briefly and add a slice of cheese... Gouda is very good with Pella bologna. Very good with Jewish rye, which the Jewish people brought to America from Holland...

Thanks for reviving my memories of the Ultimate Bologna Sandwich - pristine in its simplicity and so satisfactory with a dish of Campbell's Tomato Soup when you come in on a cold day and have only 30 minutes before you must walk back to school. So . . . You take two slices of Wonder Bread, the freshest you can get. Only white bread will do. YOU get bologna from the fridge and place a slice or two on one of the bread slices. You spread the other slice with Hellmann's mayo or Miracle Whip (but we didn't usually have that around). You then - and here's the secret maneuver - place the mayo slice on the b-and-b slice, mayo side down, and press with the heel of your hand so hard that the bologna and the bread make a firm, thin mass. Squash it. Mash it. Since you won't have much time, don't bother with a rolling pin. (The same squashing maneuver is helpful in eating a piece of chocolate cake). By now the soup is hot enough to wash down the sandwich. File under Soul Food, Comfort Food, and Wonder Bread.

I periodically visit this recipe just for the new comments. Whoever wrote this needs to share more recipes ! Thank for the joy !

I am starving for a bologna sandwich right now, going to the store and purchase bologna. A slice of onion, mayo, and tomato sound good to go on it.

if you think this is good try frying the bologna first

These comments are hilarious! Whats even more hilarious is that we all clicked on the recipe on how to make a bologna sandwich! Now let me go make mine. :-)

Wow, everyone knows the best way is fry the bologna(ne), drain on paper towel, then while in its rolled up state from the frying pan, place mayo in the center and enjoy!

I love fried bologna sandwiches learned about it from a school mate when we would skip school together at her house try it fried cut the bologna about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch thick fry in a pan till cooked on both sides not burned just slightly cooked like one would do pork roll place on bread with mayo and enjoy...Lynn

Thank you for the laughs! Sometimes the best things in life are the simple things!

I have enjoyed reading everyone's comment. Good to see that something so simple is shared across the world and could produce 15 pages of comments! My favorite is all done in the skillet..butter and toast bread fry thick sliced bologna add cheese assemble sandwich and toast on both sides for complete meltation!! I have loved this sandwich for all of my 33 years and now my 2 year old loves it too!

You can make these the night before and refrigerate. Take them out about 3 hours before serving. Also, it is a good idea to put them in a sandwich bag.

I like to put potatoe chips on mine

I grew up eating a few different variations of this recipe, I prefer the zip of Miracle whip between two slices of Bologna between a good fresh white bread or fried with onions in butter on rye bread. Either way we refer to it as Carpenter Steak as it is a common lunch sandwich for the construction worker, as opposed to the similar but hot sandwich the Tube Steak.
