First, cut a whole package of bologna in half. The nice soft texture of the bologna makes it possible to do this with one cut of the knife!
Next, melt a Tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan. My husband says you'll need a couple of Tablespoons for the whole recipe, but I think he goes through about 1/2 of a stick. You'll have to let your taste buds and your conscience be your guide...
Add slices of bologna in a single layer. When they get nice and brown on one side, flip and fry the other side.
When the slices are done, remove to a plate and repeat the steps above until the whole package of bologna is used up. You'll want to make sure the plate you use is rimmed to catch the butter and fat that drips from the cooked slices.
Serve on a nice soft white bread. Whole wheat bread is for wimps. To make a well-rounded meal, add a pickle as your vegetable. Chocolate milk is an excellent accompaniment to fried bologna, but beer also works well. This recipe serves three (the three males living in my household).If this is too complicated for you to make at home, you can order this treat, which is popular in Buffalo, at HSBC arena when the Sabres are playing!
For the record, this is a dish my husband makes when I am not at home ... and yes, unfortunately my sons love it. If this recipe receives a positive response from my readers, maybe he'll follow up with the recipe for his favorite sub. First ingredient: liverwurst...
