BOLOGNA SALAD SANDWICH SPREAD I



Bologna Salad Sandwich Spread I image

A girlfriend's mom made this spread years ago for our Teen Club Luncheon back in Iowa in the 50's. I asked her to tell my Mom how to make it. I made the recipe for my kids while they were growing up & they still love it. Sweet relish and eggs round out the flavor of bologna in this simple but delicious spread. Serve it on cocktail toast, or use it in sandwiches. The amount of egg, creamy salad dressing and relish should be adjusted to taste.

MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD



Mom's Best Macaroni Salad image

This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!

Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots, shredded
1 large red onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup white sugar
½ cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery. Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors. The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.

MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES



My Favorite Bologna or Ham Salad for Sandwiches image

I grew up only knowing this by Ham Salad which is what my Mom and local Deli's up North called it. She said it was the "Poor Man's Ham Salad" which never contained any ham, just bologna, but giving it the wonderful flavor and color of what could have been ham. We loved it. I made it for my children as they grew up and it is still requested though they are adults now. I am in my 50's and still make it for myself as a snack spread or sandwich. I've seen a variation of recipes for this, tried some and still think mine is my favorite. Let me know what you think?

Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 2 pounds, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb of your favorite bologna
0.75 (12 ounce) package sliced American cheese
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup real mayonnaise (can use Miracle Whip)

Steps:

  • Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
  • I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
  • Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
  • Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
  • Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
  • Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
  • Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
  • Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
  • You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
  • Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
  • Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.

OLD FASHIONED BOLOGNA SALAD



Old Fashioned Bologna Salad image

I remember this sandwich spread from when I was a kid. Mom and Dad would buy bulk bologna every time we traveled to Indiana to see family and this was the treat that was made from the ends of the log. Chopped olives, shredded cheese or chopped pickled banana peppers could be added for a different flavor.
