Best Bologna Bbq Meatballs Recipes
BARBECUED BOLOGNA
Bologna is a popular smoked meat in the South and it's quite good. You'll need to start with a big chunk though; sliced deli bologna just won't work. The cooking process firms it up, gives it a great smoky flavor, and develops a little crust on the outside. It's delicious served at room temperature with crackers and cheese or on white bread with barbecue sauce and thinly sliced onion for a tasty sandwich.

Steps:
- Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 235 degrees F using medium cherry wood for smoke flavor.
- Slice off a thin piece off the bologna lengthwise so it has a flat bottom and won't roll around. Score the top in a series of thin slashes in a diamond pattern. Season the bologna liberally with the barbecue rub. Put the bologna in the cooker and cook for at least 3 hours but up to 5 hours. It's already fully cooked, so the recipe is very flexible, but as it cooks longer it will get smokier and develop a better outside crust.
- Transfer the bologna to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice to serve.
- This rub is a little more complex than Barbecue Rub #67 and has great color as it cooks on the food. I like to put this one in the food processor until it's finely ground. It makes for a smooth texture but also takes care of breaking up the lumps in the dried brown sugar. You may want to dry the sugar the day before. This preparation is a little more complicated, but don't be afraid to use on whatever you're cooking.
- Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process for 15 seconds. The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- For the meatballs: Soak the bread cubes in the milk; squeeze dry and place in a large bowl. Add the ground beef, ground pork, ground lamb, onions, Parmesan, bologna, garlic, jalapeno, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper; mix well with a wooden spoon. Form into 2-inch balls.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shallow-fry the meatballs until browned on all sides, 1 1/2 minutes per side. (The meatballs will be raw in the center; they'll finish cooking in the sauce.)
- For the BBQ sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions; cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Prepare a smoker.
- Using a large, 2-pronged fork, poke several holes into bologna. Place bologna in the smoker and smoke for 3 hours over indirect heat, or until ends of bologna start to swell.
- Pour oil into a heavy bottomed medium-size frying pan. Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
- Cut bologna into 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick slices. When oil is hot, fry bologna slices, 1 at a time, for 1 minute each. Remove each slice to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place each slice of bologna between 2 pieces of Texas toast, first topping with a small scoop of cole slaw and then drizzling with BBQ sauce.
