The best thing about summer is that my husband likes to get the grill and smoker out on the weekends. I get a break from cooking and get to eat some delicious food! One of my favorites has always been smoked bologna! My uncle showed me a recipe where you cut a spiral into the bologna and roll it out to add cream cheese. I tried this and it was a mess. The bologna didn’t roll out very well and fell apart. So, I decided to come up with a better solution.
Step 1
First, take your bologna and cut it in half. Then slice the halves horizontally. (I left one of our halves whole for the kids). Then you want to scoop out a decent amount in the center of the pieces. It should look like this:
Step 2
Next, take a block of softened cream cheese and add cayenne, shredded cheese, and chopped jalapenos. I measure with my heart on this and you should, too. Any type of shredded cheese will work, but I used a Mexican blend. Mix that well and pack it in the bologna.
Step 3
Now, place your pieces back together and secure with skewers. Then score your bologna and rub whatever sauce you want on it. I used a mixture of mustard, brown sugar, and bbq sauce.
Step 4
Finally, just throw it on the smoker until the outside gets a nice crisp. It is delicious and so easy!

Bologna is not for me. BUT my brother loves it and this would put him in 7th heaven. Going to share this with my sister in law for her to make.
