How to Make a Fried Bologna Sandwich

Cured beef, pork, turkey or a combination thereof, form the delicacy of bologna, once thought to be the "poor man's meat" because of its impurities. But being a sandwich meat, you can make a fried bologna sandwich for an even better taste.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Bread
• Bologna
• Cheese (optional)
• Toaster
• Frying pan or cast-iron skillet
• Cooking oil
• Microwave (optional)
• Condiments (optional)

1. Select your bologna. There are different types of bologna, such as regular, beef, garlic and lite to choose from.
2. Cut your bologna. If you purchase your bologna in a stick, cut your pieces of bologna thinly. Then cut your slice in two right down the middle.
3. Place your bologna in the frying pan. For more flavor, consider using a cast-iron skillet. To prevent your bologna from sticking, use a small amount of oil on the bottom of the pan and heat the pan to "hot" before placing your bologna in it.
4. Fry your bologna. You can cook your bologna until it's the way you like it. While you generally don't want to fry it until it's completely black, having some black markings on your fried bologna is good.
5. Toast your bread. The best way to eat a fried bologna sandwich is hot, which means the bologna and bread are both hot. If you like cheese, you can add cheese at this point and place your sandwich into the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to melt the cheese.
6. Add your condiments. Use whatever you like on your fried bologna sandwich (mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes and even onions).
