addition in many Midwestern kitchens, though that technically adds a fourth ingredient. You can also add a slice of American cheese on top of the hot bologna and let it melt for a richer sandwich, or tuck in a couple of dill pickle chips for a tangy bite.
For a heartier meal, use three slices of bologna and stack them higher. If you’re cooking for more than one person, fry the bologna in batches so you don’t crowd the pan; crowded slices steam instead of crisping.
Food safety tips: Keep the bologna refrigerated until you’re ready to cook, and don’t leave leftover sandwiches at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if it’s very hot outside). If you have leftover fried bologna, store it covered in the refrigerator and reheat it in a dry skillet until hot and sizzling before eating.
