Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds bologna cut into chunks
  • 1 large hard boiled egg peel, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 cup Miracle Whip dressing
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish or dill pickle relish
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • few dashes hot sauce optional

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, pulse the bologna, egg and onion into small pieces then continue to process in short bursts until desired consistency is reached.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, onion powder, granulated garlic and black pepper until fully combined. (Add a few dashes of hot sauce, if using.)
  • To the mixing bowl add the chopped bologna mixture to the dressing, stir to until fully combined.
  • Serve immediately or place into an airtight container and chill until serving on bread, with saltine crackers or celery ribs.

Notes

    • Protein - You can adapt this recipe using fully cooked ham.
    • Mustard - You can use yellow mustard, whole grain mustard or creole mustard.
    • Mayo - You can replace the Miracle Whip with one cup mayonnaise. You may also replace part of the miracle whip or mayonnaise with sour cream.
    • Relish - You can use sweet relish or dill relish depending on your preference.
    • Salt - You can taste and adjust the level of saltiness to your taste. The bologna generally has ample.
    • Cheese - You could add 1/2-1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. When doing so, you may need to adjust the amount of Miracle Whip, it may take more to achieve the creamy texture.
    • Spice - You can add chopped jalapeños or banana peppers processing them along with the bologna.
    • Serving Options - Perfect served as a snack on saltine crackers, sandwiched between slices of bread topped with a slice of cheese, or scooped onto lettuce leaves.
