Ingredients
- Butter – We recommend using salted butter to toast the bread for the best flavor and golden crispy texture. You can also use mayonnaise instead of butter for extra richness.
- White Bread – Classic white bread works great for this sandwich, but Texas toast, sourdough, or rye bread are also delicious options. Choose a sturdy bread that holds up well to the warm bologna and melted cheese.
- Slices Bologna – Thick-cut beef bologna gives the best flavor and crispy edges on the Blackstone. Thin slices cook faster but may not have the same texture. Don’t forget to cut small slits around the edges to prevent curling while cooking.
- American Cheese – American cheese melts perfectly and gives this sandwich its classic diner-style flavor. Cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese also work well if you want to change it up.
- Yellow Mustard – Yellow mustard adds classic tangy flavor, but you can easily swap it for mayo, spicy mustard, or your favorite sandwich spread.

How to Make Fried Bologna Sandwich
Step 1 – Preheat a Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 2 – Melt the butter on the grill and spread it out with a spatula.
Step 3 – Then place the slice of bread on the grill to toast it. Remove from the grill once the bread is golden brown.
Step 4 – Peel the outside red rings off the outside of each of the Bologna slices. Cut an approximately one inch slits into the edge of the Bologna at 4 even places around the bologna slice. Then cut a ½ inch slice in the center of the bologna slices.
Step 5 – Lay the bologna slices onto the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned in a single layer. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 more minutes until browned.
Step 6 – Layer 2 slices of bologna on top of each other and top with a slice of cheese. Heat for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 7 – Spread the mustard onto both sides of the bread and add the hot bologna and cheese.
Step 8 – Serve warm and enjoy!
