My mom used to make a bologna and pickle sandwhich filling....?

Question

...I think it must have had mayo in it, but I never knew what..
the recipe was, and I remember I loved it. I am talking 45 years ago! She had an old fashioned meat grinder, which I don't have. I also don't have a food processor.

Does anyone know if this can be done with a blender? And what exactly goes into this recipe? I saw a few recipes that said it was relish, and not pickles, and that could very well be, but I don't know.

Do you think I could just cut the bologna up in small chunks and put it in the blender? I don't want a "paste", more like a sandwhich spread I guess. I just want to try it again. I haven't tasted it for a thousand years, and I think my grandson (and I) might like it.

I only want to make enough for some sandwhiches - not tons of it. Maybe with about a pound of bologna.

Answer 1

But I know what you're talking about. First of all, you know a lot of food processors have the grinder feature that you can buy as an add on. I can remember my mother using the grinder for lots of things, and that was more than 45 years ago. For instance, I don't think she could have made the delicious Turkey stuffing she made without the grinder.



The bologna sandwich spread was just ground up bologna, with sweet pickles ground up in it. I've had it with sweet relish and it tastes similar, but my mother actually ground up the sweet pickles as well. It was one of those things where you just put in what looks like enough. And then you mixed in Miracle Whip to your taste. You could put a lot or a little according to what you like.



I'll still buy a small ring of bologna a couple times a year just to make the ground bologna sandwiches.



My mother used to do the same thing with left over ham. That was delicious too!

Answer 2

I don't know about a blender but a food processor certainly would chop it just right. Use the pulse setting. I used to make it and so did my mom. All my mother used was bologna, pickles, onions and Miracle Whip since no one in my family liked mayonnaise. Some people I know have added a chopped hard boiled egg or 2 and I like that as well. It seems to counteract all that salt in the bologna and pickles. I don't think it makes a difference if you use pickle relish or pickles. I personally prefer dill pickle relish if I use it at all.

Answer 3

The deli I used to work in made a sandwich spread like that. I still make it all the time with lunch meat ends n scrap. I don't measure it's kind of all on my head but these are te best guesses I can give you for amounts.



4 lbs scrap bologna or lunch meat ground

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2-3 Tbs honey

1/2 cup relish or pickles minced fine

2/3 cup of mayo add more if needed I like a little more so it's closer to a cup



That's my best guess as to amounts you may have to tweak it hear or there to get what you want.



I really would recommend going out and finding an grinder even a cheap hand powered one. Food processors are nice but it's easy to over do it.

It is a very old recipe and makes enough for 100 portions ~ so you will definitely have to divide it.

I really hope you like it.

Bologna and pickle Salad Sandwich Spread



4 eggs 1 1/2 pounds unsliced bologna 6 medium sweet pickles 1/4 cup mayonnaise



Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from water, cool and peel.

In a food processor, place eggs, bologna and sweet pickles. Blend to a spreadable consistency.

Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, increasing the amount as necessary to make the mixture smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

Answer 6

I think you might very well be better off hand chopping some pickles to a fine size. The blender will most likely mush them up. A food procceser would make the chopping short work for you...but if you don't have one on hand use a good chefs knife and a good size sturdy board...chopp you pickles fine and add it to the baloney !



Now--I must ask--did you know that there are PICKLE LOAFS --already made at the Grocery Store ?



Also --If you can get your hands on some homemade pickles or buy your pickles at a pickle place---the flavor youl have will be far more than any regular jared pickle available on the shelves !

Answer 7

I remember this salad! My family also made it with ham and cheese, all ground with sweet pickle relish and mayonaise! Yummy. Take a look at Cooks.com for bologna salad....I saw a number of interesting recipes that might fit the bill!

Answer 8

and I was surprised to discover it contained no ham :) finely chopped bologna, finely chopped dill pickle, a squirt of spicy mustard and enough mayo to hold it together.

I sometimes make it for weekend lunches when I go to the market and they have the "deli ends" on sale, it is the perfect use for them and they are very inexpensive.

Enjoy!

Answer 9

It sounds like the bologna loaf by oscar meyer with pimento filled olives. Do you want it sweet or just tasty? I would try a food processor with bologna loaf and thousand island dressing. Just experiment.
