Add Step-by-Step Photos

Raised back in the sixties a favorite sandwich was a bologna sandwich. Still is I guess. Cold Iceberg lettuce, layers of leaves, layers of bologna except back then it would have been on Wonder White bread. Good when working in the heat and get that ... More

Ingredients
  • Cracked Wheat (preferred, anything will do)
  • Oscar Mayer All Meat Bologna
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Yellow mustard
  • Best Foods or Hellman’s mayo
  • Chips
  • Cold drink

Directions
  1. Per the pics, spread mayo and mustard edge to edge. Always my way, no dry spots.
  2. First, lettuce on both sides, then a slice of Bologna then lettuce, then Bologna up to as many layers as you like.
  3. Sometimes when it is a little tall, you have to take your hand and smoosh it down. A little mass compression I call it.
  4. Once flatten, it can be cut in half, grab some chips, a cold drink and lunch is served. Just good old stuff that still works.
  5. Painting the day I made this, guess it shows!

Thanks for the memory! I liked mine with a little butter, lettuce, ketchup and bologna!


Ever do a fried bologna sandwich, Yummie Yum Yum.


I enjoyed this post. I love bologna sandwiches cold your way. My husband loves fried bologna sandwiches. Toasted bread, thick sliced bologna cooked in a big frying pan-have to cut into it so that it doesn't curl up but it ends up looking like Pac Man-a slice of Kraft process cheese and plenty of mustard. Comfort food!


Awesome! I use Miracle Whip instead of Mayo, but the same technique! Girls at the office can't stand to see the two mixed together. Now when I fry my bologna I like to fry some onions in with it and only use Miracle Whip to dress the bread.


You're FUNNY! Love the pictures. Back in the day when I wasn't veggie, I loved mayo on my bologna. Hellman's of course. Hmmmmmm memories.

Ok - is that a diet pepsi on the side? It's like ordering the combo meal with the diet drink on the side. LOL - Fried bologna is always good too!


It is funny how so many see some of my sandwiches with memories. Same thing with the Fried Hot Dog Sandwich which a foodie ate while watching Gilligan's Island. A pleasure bringing back those memories to all. Fried, slices of cheese, it all works. I have fried it myself. More to come. JJ


Oh yeah - the all-American bologna sandwich, on Wonder Bread back in the day (so soft it stuck to the roof of your mouth), slathered with mayo and mustard, that cold crispy lettuce...nothing seems to taste quite as good as those childhood memories (and early married days when that was a gourmet meal!)...as only Bob could say/sing, "Thanks for the memories."


Yea, its a Diet. I like the regular but it is so loaded with sugar and this is such a healthy lunch.


So funny, yep it did stick to top, but is was so soft. Now you made me remember another health sandwich with white bread. I'll make that later and post. Everyone is so funny and great here. JJ



HI JJ,

Love the memories you have brought along with the good Ole bologna sandwich never had it with lettuce before just bologna and cheese with mayo of course. Everyone on this site is funny and so nice it is a pleasure being on this wonderful site. Keep up the wonderful posts and hey I love fried bologna and fried hot dogs to.

Have a wonderful night JJ. WOW Yummy!!!!!!!

I have flagged this because it brings back so many memories thanks again JJ


Here here Henrie. My mum used to make yummy fried bolonga sandwiches! I think I want one now. Great post Goldminer!


Great sandwich! But I have to disagree with the bread choice. Has ta be white bread -the softer, the better. Like Krumkake said, sticking to the roof of your mouth. :')


Love it JJ! Right along with the Diet Drink! Now me.. I have to put my chips on the sandwich.. and scoosh it all down! When helping on the farm bailing hay.. this was the lunch meal often! Sad to say, I still like it! When first moving to Texas.. the bologna was awful! I would have people "import" it for me from up north. They finally started carring the good stuff!


I still would do the white bread, I just buy the Cracked Wheat now, love its flavor. Can't stand what they sell called "Wheat", tastes like cardboard. I know the chip thing in the sandwich, great comment here to add, nice. JJ


This is still my guys favorite sandwich....Wonder bread, oh yeah...:)


I don't eat bologna but maybe once a year anymore but used to of course. Always ate it like this: Cold: White bread, ketchup and potato chips, smooshed down. Fried: Thick sliced bologna, wheat bread and mustard. Mmmm mmm! Dang it JJ, I just might have to go buy a package.


Yea, not often anymore either, just was doing a lot of painting recently and it sounded good and was easy to make. Ketchup and bologna, that is different. Understand the fried thing, is that with toasted bread? Might have to, live now, buy a pack or get a couple of slices from the deli. Hey we all know how to spell bologna, Oscar Mayer taught us with the TV ad :-)


Brings back memories! My mom would make huge triple decker fried bologna sandwiches.They were always a hit! She would toast and lightly butter the bread add the mayo, lettuce, and of course cheddar cheese! Oh the memories!


My mom used to either make these w/cold bologna or fry it...and she used Miracle Whip....AWESOME! :) TY for the great post....man, now I'm hungry!


I have another sandwich to post, next day or too. Will be interesting to see if anyone else used to make this when they were young. JJ


I like my bologna fried, I also like to put cheese, ketchup, and mustard on my sandwich


Gm,
Mine was on Wonder white with cheese. After it was made, I'd just press it down with my entire hand to make it flat and then just take itty bitty bites! Thanks.

OMG JJ;
You are a first-class character. Thanks for the post, the memories, the step-by-step, and the knowledge that I share my moniker with too cool folks like you. Thanks,
JJ


Hey JJ, this one was listed under Trends so I came to check it out. I loved these when growing up. Every friday we went to town for groceries and we would stop by our local country store to get my weekly treat, moon pie and RC soda and the big thick slices of Bologna and a big hunk of hoop cheese. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
