Steps:
- Spread one slice of bread with mayonnaise and the other slice with yellow mustard.
- Heat a medium skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Make a 1-inch X in the center of each piece of bologna to keep it from curling up in the skillet. Wipe the skillet with a stick of butter until lightly greased. Add the bologna and fry a couple of minutes on each side until browned. Stack up the bologna in the skillet and top with the cheese. Cover with a large inverted bowl and heat until melted.
- Transfer the bologna to one of the slices of bread. Top with the chow chow, potato chips and lettuce. Top with the other slice of bread and give it a little push to crush the potato chips down a bit. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:
- In a cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter and then add the bologna. Fry until the bologna turns dark golden brown and then flip and fry the other side, about 2 minutes per side. Top each slice of bologna with 2 slices of cheese and let melt.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on 4 slices of the bread and mustard on the remaining 4 slices. Place a slice of cheese-covered fried bologna on a slice of bread topped with mayonnaise, then layer on a piece lettuce and tomato. Top with a slice of bread topped with mustard. Repeat with the remaining slices of fried bologna. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.

KITTENCAL'S FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICH
This makes the best fried bologna sandwich, I think it's the buttered grilled buns that really add to the flavor! My DS loves this with a couple slices of dill pickles and chips. I like to sprinkle some garlic powder on top of the slices after spreading with butter, and before browning, but that is only optional.

Steps:
- Slice each of the buns in half, then spread each side with about 2 teaspoons butter (can use more).
- Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray or melt 1-2 tablespoons butter in the skillet until melted.
- Place the buns on the skillet buttered side down; leave untouched in the skillet for 1-2 minutes or until browned; remove to a plate and spread brown mustard on one or both sides of the buns (over the butter).
- Fry the bologna slices in the same skillet with a slit cut in the middle to prevent it from curling while frying turning once after it had developed that slighty burnt crispy coating on one side.
- Turn the slices over and place a slice (or two) of Swiss cheese on top, then continue to cook until the underneath part is browned and the cheese on top has melted; remove from skillet or griddle, then place the slices of cooked bologna onto each bun the top with onion slices then cover with the top part of bun.
- Delicious!

Tips:
- Use high-quality bologna for the best flavor. Look for a brand that is thick-sliced and has a good amount of marbling.
- Slice the bologna thinly, about 1/4-inch thick. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Season the bologna with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before frying. This will help to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the bologna in a hot skillet over medium heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the bologna in batches if necessary to prevent it from steaming instead of frying.
- Serve the fried bologna sandwich with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, and lettuce.
Conclusion:
The fried bologna sandwich is a classic West Virginia comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With its crispy crust, tender and juicy interior, and flavorful toppings, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
