Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pkg chicken-pork bologna
1~1 1/2 c real mayonaise
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
1/2 bottle sweet pickles
1 small white onion, diced (optional)
2 small jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)

Steps:

1. You'll need a grinder for this. The old crank type or electric, it you have one. Grind the Bologna through a coarse grind plate.
2. Grind the Sweet Pickles into the ground Bologna, adding some of the juice to make moist. (You certainly can use Sweet Pickle Relish if you like) I've also used "Bread n' Butter" pickles when I was out of Sweet.
3. My figures for the Mayo, Mustard etc. are approximate as I make a much larger batch and do it all by sight and taste. Mix the Mayo in first, then Mustard.
4. I don't add the diced onion, because although it adds texture and taste, you can't hold this long w/ raw onion in it. Instead, I use a Jalapeno Relish that has pickled onion in it. It's available at Mexgrocer.com I add this after finishing for those whom desire a little kick, leave the main batch without.
5. When it's all mixed and to your taste, pack in clean jars or Tupperware. It'll hold in the refrigerator for two weeks and better. If it begins to get a bit dry, just mix a little more Mayo into it.
6. This is great on sandwiches and also works well as a canape or cracker topper, just sprinkle a little Paprika on it to look pretty.
7. My first time to post anything here, so I hope I've been clear and haven't broached any protocols...LOL

Po' Man's Ham Salad (makes enough to feed a group) image

Provided by Cathy Nunn

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb deli bologna (buy in bulk from the butcher-get the least expensive one!)
3/4 c salad dressing (like miracle whip, but try to find the least expensive brand. they are just as good!) can use more if needed.
2/3 c finely minced celery
2/3 c finely minced sweet onion
1/2 c sweet pickle relish (may use more--to your taste)
1 small jar chopped, drained pimientos (optional...that's my own addition... wasn't marge's idea.)

Steps:

1. Remove the red plastic sheath from around the bologna. Run through a chopper or food processor. Don't process it too much, just enough to make it a salad or spread-type consistency. Run the celery and onion through the chopper as well to achieve a fine minced consistency.
2. Add salad dressing and the rest of the ingredients. Mix together very well to blend the flavors. Refrigerate in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid until you are ready to use it. (If you refrigerate it overnight before using it, it will taste even better!!)
3. This makes a lot of sandwiches for an occasion or for your own use at home. It really does taste like a deviled ham spread, but is made with bologna! And the cost per serving is nominal, as opposed to buying a prepared ham spread! Bon Apetit' Y'all!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb deli bologna cut in a chunk
8 oz block sharp cheddar cheese/or a pkg already shredded
6 eggs, hard boiled
2 medium dill pickles
3/4 c mayonnaise

Steps:

1. take the bologna and shredd it up; usually I use a food processor but this time I used my grater and it worked fine with less clean up...Shred it in a large mixing bowl
2. Shred the Cheese to the mix; or add the pkg. shredded cheese
3. Shred the eggs with the grater; i found this so quick and easy; I use to chop my eggs for egg salad or recipes for chopped eggs but this time they just slid right over the grater and was so fast and easy..shred this into the mix in the bowl
4. Shred the whole dills into mix as well...
5. Add Mayonnaise to the mixture and stir well to blend it all together....adjust the mayo to taste; more or less depending on desired consistency...
6. Taste test to make sure it is good;))) Put in container in fridge to chill and use it for sandwiches... So easy and so delicious....like I said earlier; it is my version of the poor man's ham salad and just as good;))))
