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.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 3-pound chub or chunk bologna
Barbecue Rub #68 (recipe follows)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, dried (see Note)
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon Sugar in the Raw
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

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.

BARBECUED BOLOGNA SANDWICH

I know this sounds kind of strange, but you have to try it. This was my favorite school lunch when I was a kid and I now re-create the memory for my kids. I still love it and so do they. I have included the ingredients for one sandwich, but you'll want to make more.

  • Flip the bologna frequently: This will help it cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the bologna with your favorite sides: Barbecued bologna is a great main course for a casual meal. Serve it with sides like potato salad, coleslaw, or baked beans.
