Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 pounds Bologna unsliced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand
Classic Garnishes –
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese cut into cubes
- 1 cup “bread and butter” pickles drained
Additional Optional Garnishes –
- Pickled okra
- pickled onions
- pickled jalapenos
- saltine crackers
- Ritz crackers
Instructions
- Fill the smoker with your favorite variety of wood pellets. Preheat the smoker to 165°F.
- Slice the bologna into 1-inch round slabs. Place the bologna slabs on the smoker and close the top. Smoke the bologna for 45-60 minutes.
- Once the bologna is nearly done smoking, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the bologna slabs with a thin layer of barbecue sauce, reserving the rest for later. Place the slabs on the hot grill, and grill just until char marks form, about 1 minute per side.
- Cut the bologna slabs into 1-inch cubes. Then pour the remaining barbecue sauce in a bowl and add the bologna cubes. Toss well to coat the bologna in bbq sauce. Then place the bbq cubes on a platter and add cheddar cheese cubes, sweet pickles, and any other garnishes you like!

Notes
- Cool the meat before placing in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To freeze: Cool the baloney and transfer to a freezer-safe ziploc bag, squeezing all of the air out when you seal it. Keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
