ground bologna sandwiches
interestingly enough, everything in this recipe i have refused to eat at one point or another in my life and 3/4 of it i still won’t eat alone (raw onion, pickles and miracle whip). at one point in my life, i even boycotted sandwiches (until i tried subway). but when all of these ingredients come together, they make one delicious sandwich that i enjoy.
and you MUST use koegel’s ring bologna for this recipe. it’s the only bologna that i’ll eat. can you tell i’m a tad on the picky side this post? or maybe it’s because i’m from flint and appreciate good bologna and hot dogs. or maybe i’m just picky about all food…
oh! and of course, the key to this recipe is an awesome meat grinder. i use a kitchenaid meat grinder, which conveniently attaches to my mixer. (thanks to bran for finding the grinder on clearance and thanks to aunt carol for the mixer!
)
- 1 pkg. koegel ring bologna, casing removed, chopped into chunks small enough to fit in meat grinder
- 1/4 vidalia onion, chopped
- 1/2 c miracle whip
- 2 tbsp relish (i prefer dill over sweet)
- using a coarse plate, grind your bologna chunks. follow the bologna with onion chunks. this cleans out any excess bologna.
- with a spatula, mix the bologna and onion, fold in miracle whip and relish.
- serve as pictured on a bun or any other bread that you would like.
enjoy!

It is really good just on crackers even!!! Grandma Clark would add mustard and grated cheese, put it in a hot dog bun, wrap it in foil, and bake until it is heated through. Her recipe them Hush Puppies.
I’ll have to try the Grandma Clark method… sounds pretty tasty.
