BOLOGNA CUPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet (I prefer my cast-iron), melt a little butter and fry the bologna with the rind on (the red thing around the outside of the slice), only on one side. You'll notice it will start to "cup up".
• While the bologna is frying, make your instant potatoes according to the directions and your taste. You will want them to be creamy, but stiff so that they won't run off the bologna.
• When the bologna has "cupped" and is fried enough to your satisfaction, set aside on a large plate. Carefully remove the "rind" without tearing up the bologna. It will relax a bit but that's okay. Put a large scoop of potatoes on top of each bologna "cup", add onions and/or chives (if you don't like onions, it eats just as well without), and top with a slice of American cheese or a generous helping of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Pop in the microwave long enough to slightly melt the cheese, or you can even put in the oven to brown the cheese. Then eat!

REAL HOMEMADE BOLOGNA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, curing salt, water, garlic powder, onion powder and liquid smoke using your hands. Divide in half, and form each half into a roll. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Unwrap the beef rolls, and place them on a greased baking sheet or roasting pan.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, turning the meat over after 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Slice, and eat on sandwiches.

BOLOGNA CUPS WITH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook mashed potatoes and set aside.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
• Fry each piece of bologna by placing into skillet and cooking one side until desired doneness and then flipping and cooking the other side. *Important* Do NOT cut the bologna so that it will lie flat. You want the bologna to create a "bowl" as it cooks.
• Once bologna is cooked, remove from skillet, blot excess grease off with paper towel and place onto a serving plate.
• Spoon a servings worth of mashed potatoes into each bologna bowl and top with a slice of Velveta cheese.
• You may microwave the bologna / mashed potatoe cups just long enough to reheat the potatoes and to melt the cheese.
