Fried Bologna & Other Southern Sandwiches

Southern Plate is more than just me typing and chatting away. In fact, YOU are the most important part of SouthernPlate.com. With that in mind, I hope you’ll take time to leave a comment and share your favorite sandwich from your childhood. See bottom of this post for more details! Gratefully, Christy :) bologna 003

When my mama was a girl they had a tradition of going out riding through the countryside on Sunday afternoons. They’d stop off at a little store to have thick slices of bologna cut off and made into bologna and cheese sandwiches. Pair that with a bottled drink and they were living high on the hog! “There just wasn’t anything like getting to ride in that car and look out the window while you ate a bologna sandwich!”.

This treat was passed down to my generation when we often sat down for lunch with a big loaf of bread and a stack of cheese slices in the middle of the table while Mama fried up bologna in a skillet. We’d each make our own sandwich and I’d make mine just like my brother did: Fried bologna, cheese, and potato chips settled in between two pieces of “loaf bread”.

Bologna sandwiches, sometimes referred to as “the poor man’s steak”, are such a part of our culture, they’re even used to gauge a person’s character. On the day we got married, my husband’s best man, Jim, had driven in a ways and was planning on staying overnight before heading back. He stayed with my Grandmother, who lived across the road from what was to be our new home. It had been quite a day with the wedding and reception and that evening Grandmama and Jim went out on her porch to relax and look out over the river.

For supper, Grandmama made the two of them bologna sandwiches.

To Grandmama, Jim and my husband represented a new generation, with a huge divide between folks her age and them. Grandmama had grown up dirt poor and picking cotton all of her life and here was this young man newly graduated from college with an engineering degree whose experience with her world had been nothing more than glancing at the cotton as the car went by. Its sometimes a little intimidating for folks who come from such humble backgrounds in situations like this, but when Jim accepted that bologna sandwich, it spoke volumes to Grandmama about the type of person he was at heart. Even now whenever he is mentioned she always chimes, in,

“That Jim is just a real good boy, he sat out there on the porch and ate a bologna sandwich with me”.

To make the sandwich from my childhood you’ll need: Bread, cheese, mayo…

bologna 007and potato chips :)

My brother taught me the wonders of a potato chip sandwich over thirty years ago.

I think it almost made up for him cutting the entire side of my hair off a few years later.

bologna 005

Now we have to fry out bologna. I always cut a slit halfway through to keep it from curling up into a bowl as it fries.

I prefer Zeigler bologna because it is made in Alabama. I try to buy as close to home as I can because last thing we want is to end up relying on a company halfway across the country for our food supplies. I think it’s best to support local suppliers to ensure that you have local suppliers. Zeigler’s has been around for over seventy five years. Their main plant is in Tuscaloosa and our own highly respected Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant was once an owner of the company as well.

Reminder to all: I am not into football but Alabamians take their football very seriously.

So whatever team you are for, GO THEM!

bologna 008

You don’t need to spray your pan or anything, just put your bologna in it and cook it on medium, turning after it browns on one side. Some folks like there is just barely heated but I actually like a wee bit of black on mine :)

Note to myself: You use the word “actually” too much, stop it. Now. Seriously.

~sighs~

bologna 010

Oh lawd, that’s some good eatin’!

bologna 011

I always smoosh it a bit to crunch the chips down some :)

bologna 012

Grandmama, I’m a real good girl because I still eat bologna sandwiches!

A few posts back we got into a comment discussion on strange sandwich combinations we grew up on. It was a fascinating comment section and we all really got a hoot out of reading it. I’d like to devote this comment section to those sandwiches. What did you grow up on? What brands do you insist on and why?

Mayonaise sandwich? Mustard sandwich? PB and banana? Tell us all about it! Also, why do you think Southerners eat such strange sandwich combinations-ketchup sandwich, anyone?

I think it is due to lack of food. When food was scarce, you could put something between two slices of bread, call it a sandwich and then it suddenly seemed like a meal. What do you think?

If there is anything else you wanna talk about in the comments section, feel free to do that, too.

See someone else’s comment you wanna reply to? Go right ahead!

I consider this to be my big old porch and we’re all just a standing around visiting with each other.

Y’all keep the conversation going and I’ll keep the tea glasses filled!

We’re all family here anyways. :)

    Oh My Goodness! I am so glad to see so many positive comments on bologna sandwiches and so many variations. It makes me feel right at home. Can’t wait to see the pimento cheese recipes. Keep the good stuff coming. Southerners know how to eat the best stuff.

  2. Sybil

    What memories! Thank you for posting about wonderful fried baloney sammiches! When I was little, my Nanny would make me a “special”-usually on Sunday morning, of fried baloney, WITHOUT slits so it curled into a bowl, She filled it with scrambled eggs (dripping in butter, of course) and put a slice of cheese on it! I was so certain I had to be the richest, most loved little girl in the world! And to top it off, I got to have a saucer full of big-person coffee-which was just about a spoonful of her chicory coffee in the bottom of a saucer, then filled to the brim with cream and sugar. What a big girl I was-I even tried to eat and drink like I saw the fancy ladies on TV do~~grin~~

    Sunbeam bread with fried baloney and mayo-yum!
    Fried egg with a slice of cheese, mayo, on sunbeam bread.
    Pimento cheese and sunbeam…..
    My dear husband grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and thought I was crazy eating all these sammiches, then he introduced me to HIS favorite-bacon grease drippin’ sammich. ~sigh~

    Thanks for the memories!

      I just read about this wonderful website in Southern Living. What I have been missing. This about fried baloney sandwiches brought back one of my happiest childhood memories. My mother is an avid turkey hunter and would go with my great aunt to Ala to hunt and leave me & my sisters home alone with daddy. He was not a great cook so we ate fried baloney sandwiches and then would go to Piggly Wiggly to get all the makings for the world’s best banana splits. We each got to pick out the toppings we wanted and we feasted until mama came home from her hunting trips. We loved to see the taillights because we knew we would have daddy and the good food until her return to make us eat “right.”

  3. I noticed the liver sausage/braunschweiger sandwich, one of my favorite although the two meats are not the same. Liver loaf is the southern version of the Pennsylvania Dutch original. I also noticed no one mentioned head cheese / souse which I dearly love. Daddy made his own and i still do if I can get some pork or beef tongue. Souse, especially hot souse is the southern version of this German specialty also. No one else wanted the hog’s head on butcher day so we took it for the tongue, brains, and boiling the head for meat scraps for head cheese. Wonderful with white bread and MW, and if you have some hoop cheese (kind with the red paraffin around it.)

    Eggs Benedict-inspired sandwich I made recently:
    Soft mini French bread rolls, split, drizzled w/olive oil. Prepared a packet (1 c) of Hollandaise sauce, spread it on the cut & drizzled surfaces of the rolls. Placed thin-sliced ham on one side of roll, arranged roasted pepper strips and sliced provolone on the other. Popped ‘em under the broiler briefly, just to get the provi bubbly. Probably could have omitted the olive oil, and they might have been uber-good topped with poached egg…but for a really quick weeknight dinner, I was stoked with this creation. My twin 16 y/o boys said the special sammies were “amazing.”

  5. Lana

    As a little girl,I stayed with my Mamaw(Gram) a lot. My favorite sandwich she made me. She would cook a big pot of white beans, the next day, she took cold beans, spread on white bread with mustard and a slice of white onion. I can still taste it today. Those were the days!!!!

  6. Sammie Jo

    I love fried bologna sandwiches too but my favorite is a Fried Potato sandwich. My Nanny got me hooked on these when I was a child. I can live off of potato sandwiches.
    You get potatoes – peel and slice them in round slices not too thin not to thick. Fry in grease until golden brown. Then layer the fried potatoes on 2 slices of bread with some mayo, salt & pepper. YUMMY!! = )

  7. Meghan

    I’ve enjoyed reading these! When I was little growing up in New England my grandmother who is 100% Polish would make my sister and us fried Veal Loaf sandwiches or just cut up the veal loaf and fry it up. I’m not sure of the spelling but anyway it was my favorite thing to eat at grandma’s house and still whenever I come to visit (live in S.C now) she always makes sure to have plenty of it. My husband always calls it Polish bologna! I guess in a way it is! :O)

  8. Bobby D.

    When my Grandpa took me fishin, we almost always hade mustard sardine and onion sandwiches for lunch (Granny wouldn’t let him eat them in the house) LOL!!

    My favorite “weird” one is peanut butter and grape jelly and bacon!

    One of the few useful things That my Yankee wife has introduced me to is what she calls a “fluffernutter” sandwich. Its peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread…….mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

  9. Karan C

    Fried boloney good…… But I like it with mustard, katchup, and dil picle slices.

    My favorite though, and after 30 years my hubbie still thinks I am nuts is thick peanut butter with a thick coating of brown sugar. Gotta have butter on the top bread to hold the sugar in good.

  10. Heather O.

    I love just a bologna and cheese (the plastic wrapped kind) with frenches yellow mustard and Wonder bread. Something about the way it sticks to the roof of your mouth…. YUM!! We also ate a LOT of meatloaf sammies and I also LOVE a grilled PB and banana sammie. It makes the PB start to melt and it’s sooooooo good. I like my pimiento cheese sammie’s grilled. Oh and let’s not forget the fried egg sammie. It’s the best with toasted bread and mayo and then throw a slice of cheese on top of the hot egg at the end. Serve it with bread and butter pickles. YUMMY!!!

  11. Terry in Dunwoody

    Pineapple slices & cheese, with Duke’s mayo on Merita bread……………Now that’s good eats!

  12. Joy

    OMG this is one of my favs I luv fried bologna, the thick slices are the best just got some today at the grocery.

    another one I really like it Miracle Whip sandwiches, this one is from my dad he eats these things all the time and I guess it rubbed off on me.

  13. Tricia M.

    I have two for ya! I love PB&J with Cheetos stuffed in my sandwich, but my ultimate favorite is Peanut Butter, honey, AND banana on toasted bread! Yummo!!! My husband made this horrible face at me a long time ago when he saw me eat it. I merely said, “Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!” Well, it took a very long time (several years), but he finally tried it and now I have him hooked. I have recruited our youngest son as well. Can’t get our older son hooked on it (yet), but that’s because he won’t eat anything peanut butter.

  14. DeeDee

    What a fun little warm spot you tapped into! I loved baloney sandwiches too, but my favorite to this day is a “Fried Tater Sandwich”. We live in a small town that closes down at dark. Sometimes Mama and Daddy didn’t get to the store in time so my Daddy would slice a tater up and fry it, sprinkle with salt and spread with mayo on white bread. Of course we were so excited to see Daddy after work that we would sit around the kitchen sneakin slices of taters off the plate raw and cooked. He would fuss with a laugh that we were gonna eat it all before he could cook it ( but really he was snackin a he went too). This still makes my mouth water and warm my heart. I’ve tried it in a pinch with french fries but it doesn’t taste quite the same.

  15. Gillian

    We always had Bryan bologna growing up and I just loved the fried bologna with ketchup – never actually ate it with mayo. :) I also love fried egg sandwiches, again with ketchup, though. I’m just a ketchup lovin’ fool, I guess! I grew up in Texas, but now live in Northern Virginia – they like to say this is part of the South because of it being below the Mason Dixon line, but boy I tell you what! Not a bit of Southern in this area!

    I also ate Miracle Whip sandwiches and for peanut butter, nothing but Peter Pan pb in our house! My dad had a pb sammich every night for his dessert.

  16. Kathi

    Girl! It has been FOREVER since I have had a Fried Bologna sandwich! We add chips to all of our cold sandwiches. You gotta smash them down after you put the top piece of bread on. Think I had better add Bologna to my grocery list ;) The pictures really do this sandwich justice!

  17. My favorite sandwich is peanut butter, Hellmann’s mayo, and banana on Sunbeam bread. I also love a fried bologna sandwich with mayo, onions, cheese, and tomato.

  18. STEPHANIE

    FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICHES ARE THE BEST THING EVER!!!! WE USED TO EAT THEM ALL THE TIME WHEN WE WERE KIDS, AND NOW I MAKE THEM FOR MY KIDS. THEY TASTE EVEN BETTER W/ CHIPS ON THEM, ESPECIALLY BBQ CHIPS! THANKS FOR SHARING!

  19. Bobbi

    Great post, I love hearing others think back with such fondness!! I hope and pray, I can do give my children that too :-) We also had fried bologna when I was a kid, put a couple of slits around the outside and make an x in the center!! I forgot how much we loved them, and I think bologna was the first think I was allowed to cook.

    Another yummy sandwich my mama used to make for us, was cream cheese and chopped black olive mixed together and spread on white bread. She would also mix pb and jelly together and spread it on bread or graham crackers for a snack. My dad would make wonderful fried egg sandwichs with cheese and mayonaise, always a great breakfast. My dad also loved pb and banana sandwiches, or pb and maple syrup on toast or biscuts, he used to say he could live off of sandwiches :-)

  20. Beth

    My pappaw owned a little country store when I was growing up. I can distinctly remember thick sliced “baloney” on a fresh white bread, with a big ol’ slice of a warm garden tomato and a little bit of mustard (ok, I was the ONLY person in my family who ate mustard instead of Hellman’s or Miracle Whip)!! Yummmmmmmmy!! Add a bag of Grippos–BBQ flavor of course–and a bottle of coke with a pack of peanuts poured in and I was in heaven. : )

  21. My favorite southern sandwiches are:

    1. Fried bologna (Carolina Packers…yes, I’m from NC) with mustard spread on bread. (And I like my fried bologna crispy!)
    2. Fried SPAM sandwich with mustard. (Again, I like it crispy!)
    3. Bologna or ham, with mayo, and potato chips. (I like to press my sandwich down to hold chips in too!)
    4. Grilled cheese
    5. Peanut butter and banana (mash banana in PB).
    6. And how could I forget tomato, mayo lots of mayo), and salt & pepper!

    I think I’ll go out tomorrow and buy a can of SPAM and pack of Bologna!

  22. Kristin

    I’m a Yankee intruder, here. But I was raised right- fried bologna was a staple in our Illinois home. As was “Fried Okree” (as my Ky relatives called it) and even pimento cheese!

  23. Terry from FL/CT

    My momma used to make us Vidalia onion sandwiches with mustard as we drove on long trips. Then there were always the pb, butter & honey sandwiches for breakfast on these trips. I loved pb & potato chip sandwiches, but we couldn’t have them on trips because we’d drink too much koolaide and have to stop too often for bathroom breaks. My dad was in the Air Force, so we traveled a lot between FL & GA. This was back in the ’50′s, so think about driving all day in the summer on those trips without air conditioning…oh my, I sure don’t miss that.

  24. Martha

    Anyone else ever have “dashboard grillies”? We would vacation in the summer in our not air conditoned car, Mama would make cheese sandwiches, wrap them in “tin foil” and put them on the dash board. When we would pull over at the roadside parks for lunch, the cheese was nice and melted…mmm good! Perfect picnic food…saw a lot of the USA in our Chevrolet in the early 60′s eating dashboard grillies!!!

  25. PAULA CLOAT

    Love my fresh tomatoes on bologna with cheese and Miricle whip. We also often had balogna gravy on toast…Soooooooo good. I still fix both…and often..

  26. Kellye

    I love fried baloney sandwiches with mayo and mustard. Also,this is not a sandwich, but I remember my mother making this for us. She would mix peanut butter and Golden Eagle syrup together and put it inside a buttered homemade biscuit. PURE HEAVEN!

  27. Michelle

    I remember kayro syrup and butter mixed and then spread on white bread or even better a warm biscuit. How weird is that!!
    Fried baloney if we were at home but often when we went for a drive Daddy would stop for cheese, baloney, sandwich spread and Wonder bread. What a treat! Haven’t thought of baloney sandwiches for a long time; I will have to introduce the Grandchildren to them.
    Often when money was tight those little cans of meat and mayo mixed made a sandwich for the meal.
    My all time favorite was a tomato fresh the garden sliced, with mayo on soft white bread.
    Pimento cheese oh goodness when Grandma made it I was so happy.
    I put potato chips on most of my sandwiches ~ my husband thinks its weird. Silly him!!
    I may live in IL but all the good things I learned were from my Mamaw in KY and Grandma in southern IN.

  28. Marnie

    Flying Saucers!!!!

    Fry a piece of bologna, throw a scoop of mashed potatoes on top and cover with a slice of cheese. Let the cheese melt and you got supper!

  29. I grew up in Beauregard AL. I always have to say “It’s close to Auburn.” because no one ever knows where it is. I never heard of Duke’s mayonaise until I was grown. We always used Bama or Hellman’s. We used to eat bologna sandwiches, spam sandwiches, pineapple sandwiches and banana sandwiches. My daddy sometimes eats peanut butter and cheese sandwiches.

  30. Mary

    I LUV Fried Bologna sandwiches—I like white bread with fried bologna (fried until slightly blackened please) with a scrambled egg and mayo and mustard on it—SO GOOD!

    White bread (Kern’s bread preferably) with sliced onions and lotsa mayo—YUMMY!

    White bread with sliced cucumbers and lotsa mayo is another of my favorites.

    I also like Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches—only rather than slathering on the peanut butter and jelly separately, I like to mix the PB&J together in a bowl and then spread mixture on the bread (this is how my mama and granny always fixed it for us kids and how I still prefer it and continue to make it for my own daughter and now my grandkids).

    My all time favorite is fresh garden tomatoes sliced thick on white bread with lotsa mayo (salt and pepper on the tomato slices).

    After reading all these postings I’m really getting hungry :)

  31. Mary

    Oh yeah—something else I love is Fried tater and onion on white (Kern’s) bread with mayo.

    Another favorite is fried taters and onion with tomato and mayo on a good ‘ole homemade biscuit—absolutely delicious!

  32. Nancy

    I like mine with light bread, mustard and grilled onions. YUM-ME!

  33. Carol G

    I like mine simple: white bread, yellow mustard, and fried (good and charred) bologna. We used to also have it with breakfast, fried with homemade sugar cane syrup.

    How about pb with marshmallow fluff(creme). You can do it on regular bread or on toasted bread. WARNING if you do in on toast not only is the pb good and gooey but so is the fluff, don’t eat it in your good cloths :) It is so delicious and if you really have a sweet tooth drizzle a little honey or syrup on it…

    • Carol G

      oops: …don’t eat it in your good “clothes”… :) Can’t spell and think of something so yummy at the same time LOL

  34. Wayne

    Only saw one post out of all those that mentioned Miracle Whip and Jelly/Jam…I truly love miracle whip/grape jelly and bologna sandwiches.. They are just out of this world. I also like Duke’s and ANY type of jam sandwich. I get the weirdest looks when I talk about these sandwiches..people just do not know what they are missing.

    Also…Potato Salad sandwiches! Mmmm those are tasty.

    Duke’s Mayo and Fried Egg, Duke’s and Banana, Just Duke’s on a slice of bread folded over..I used to eat Duke’s on just about everything even fries…but as we age unfortunately our bodies change and Duke’s has to be taken in moderation sadly…

    The funny thing about Duke’s…you can make a chocolate cake with it! And it’s REALLY good.

    Back to sandwiches! Spaghetti sandwiches are great and yes it has to be cold, fried hotdog sandwiches are amazing, I love love love fried bologna with ketchup however…squeeze cheese and fried bologna run a close second…

    If you have not tried a mayo and jam sandwich..you owe it to yourself to do so. Good stuff.

  35. Lana

    I wouldn’t eat mayo or Miracle Whip for anything as a kid…I loved my fried balogna sandwiches on soft white light bread with a grape jelly scooped on each bite so it didn’t get the bread mushy. Still can’t bear to have my bread get “wet”. LOVE pimiento cheese. My Mom used to buy cream cheese and pineapple spread in these little Kraft glass jars once a great while. Of course, there was the potted meat, vienna sausages and even sardines on crackers. I do like PB&J but its so much better if you mix up the PB with the J before spreading it on toast. Same with PB & bananas. They have to be mashed together before going onto the toast or white bread.

  36. Tina King

    Christy~
    I have a number of old favorites from my childhood. Of course, #1 was fried baloney on white bread with mustard (sometimes with cheese and sometimes without). Mama bought the thin sliced baloney so I used 2 slices to make it like thick baloney. We also ate cold baloney and boiled baloney sandwiches or just plain baloney right out of the pack.
    Cold weinies dipped in mustard (from the jar).
    Liver pudding, sliced about 1/4″thick with mustard on white bread.
    Mama’s homemade pimento cheese……grilled like a grilled cheese…..messy but HEAVEN!!!!
    Banana and mayo sandwiches on white bread. Plain mayo sandwiches. Potted meat sandwiches or on crackers. I loved, loved, loved that stuff until I got older and realized what the ingredients were. lol.
    My daddy would make us egg and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread and that was always yummy.
    Of course you can’t beat a good ole peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich. :)
    Boy, now I’m hungry. I still eat potato chips on my baloney sandwiches. :)

  37. When I was little, my favorite sandwich was Dukes mayo and ketchup. Loved them to no end. Then as I grew a little, tomato sandwiches became my favorite. And I often ate peanut butter and mustard. I have a cousin who loves apple jelly and Miracle whip “sammies”. When you’re hungry, anything taste good…….

  38. I LOVE your blog. I just discovered it. I also live in Southeast Kentucky & grew up eating a lot of potted meat, bologna and pimento cheese! (drools)

    I like my bologna fried to a crisp then put on 2 slices of white bread with lots of real mayo. YUM! Heaven.

  39. Becky

    My kids love fried bologna sandwiches with a slice of tomato and cheese but wanted the sandwich grilled in the skillet too. Had to have lots of mayo, salt and pepper! And a big glass of sweet tea! My kids also use to eat a lot of banana sandwiches with potato chips crushed in the sandwich.

  40. Debby

    What memories… I close my eyes and I am back 50 years in our home on Nightingale st. .With 7 kids there was alot of bologna. Momma would buy it in long sticks and toward the end of the week well…The pickings got slim so then I would enjoyed mayo & pickle sandwiches.There was also alot of sugar sandwiches.We would run in grab a piece of bread shove it in the pink sugar canister give it twist.Out the door folding the bread in half making what we called bend over. A “sugar bend over” is kinds funny now that I think of it.

  41. Arkansaw Hillbilly

    Fried baloney was good, but we usually just ate cold baloney sandwiches. Most of the family liked miracle whip on theirs, but I like mustard on mine. The word “mustard” does not mean all that brown gunk that other people call “mustard” nowadays, it means French’s yellow mustard. I like onions sliced really thin, and lettuce on my baloney sandwiches also. We never ate any other brand of baloney than Wilson’s Certified that they sliced to order at the meat market in the SuperValue food stores. Wilson’s also made good natural casing weinies, but they have gone out of business. It is hard to find anything but the phoney baloney nowadays made with chicken. They made real baloney out of beef and pork by-products, fat trimmings and scraps. I don’t want to know what parts of the chicken they put in phoney baloney, but I know that I am not going to eat it.

  42. Kathie Walker

    Fried mashed potato with raw onion……..um in love!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. Misty S.

    I grew up on fried bologna too, but with mustard instead of mayo. And how ’bout fried green tomato sandwich with a little mayo and salt and pepper. mmmmm…..

  44. Tee

    I’ve got one for you!

    Dill pickle and Peanut butter Sandwich!

    Ya take some white bread, something soft, cuz dry bread is just nasty!

    I prefer Peter Pan creamy PB because it’s the best to me. Not to sweet.
    Some good dill pickles. The kind that’s NOT squishy when it comes out. Yea, ya’ll know which ones I mean!

    Ok, so ya spread pb on one side of the bread to your taste.

    Take enough pickles out to cover the other side of the bread. You’ll want to dry them well, or the bread gets mushy, and then put them on the other side of the bread.

    Put pb covered bread on top and voila!

    Really, it’s good. I promise! Sa sez bonne!

  45. Pennie

    I LUV my fried baloney!! I too like it almost burned with frenchs mustard(for some reason it really grosses me out to think of putting mayo on baloney). I love these sammies with green olives and chips of course!

    When I was a kid I can still remember hollering back to my mama that I wanted a mayonise sandwich when she would yell to me outside what kind of sandwich I wanted.

    I tell you something that is really good- fix a banana/mayo/PB sandwich and eat it with some good cold sauerkraut on the side!!! I can’t remember how I came upon this concoction but its awesome, it has that sweet and sour thing going on.

    Now something that I can’t for the life of me understand is seeing my husband (who is a Alabama native) do is peel a banana and wrap a piece of cold boloney around it and walk off eating it. I haven’t had the nerve to try that one yet.

    Oh yeah- one last sandwich that always yummy- cold meatloaf with mayo and lettuce. Oh man! Now that’s a real good un!! ~l;-)

  46. beth

    THEN:
    butter sandwiches
    mayo sandwiches
    grilled cheese sandwiches
    scrambled egg sandwiches
    tuna salad sandwiches – that’s what I remember the most of.
    ham salad sandwiches
    chicken salad sandwiches
    peanut butter & syrup sandwiches
    NOW:
    tomato & mayo sandwiches
    Underwood roast beef sandwiches, w/ whipped cream cheese, on french
    Underwood deviled ham sandwiches
    lettuce sandwiches, w/ thinly sliced cheddar, mayo & pepper
    egg, hash browns & sausage on toast (my kids love this)
    meatloaf sandwiches

  47. Beckie

    I must be a southerner at heart in fact I know I am as my grandma and grandpa came from Kentucky and the other set came from right here in good ole Missouri, of course Missouri is not southern but is it really northern ? When I read about the bologna with potato chips I knew I found my world I have done that for years.
    I love your recipes please keep them coming so I have something new to try.
    Beckie N Kansas

    • The way I look at it, our heart is South of our brain so everyone is a Southerner at heart if they just wanna be! :)
      Thank you for posting Beckie, its great to hear from you!!!!!!!!!!
      Gratefully,
      Christy

  48. terri k

    Ok, this might sound really gross, but its really good. my good friends dad, when I was growing up, made these all the time. It took me forever to try one, so glad I did. It is still one of my favorite sandwitches, eventhough I dont have it often. Use 2 pieces of Mrs.Bairds whitebread, put peter pan creamy pb on one piece, put hellmans mayo on the other piece. Then you put bologna and iceberg lettuce to make a very delicious sandwich.

  49. Linda E.

    Fried bologna with either mayo or ketchup (depends on my mood).

    Tomato and mayo

    bologna & mayo with potato chips smashed in it

    PB&J with Doritos

    It should go without saying that all of these should be made with Sunbeam bread. I can’t get Sunbeam in St. Louis so I have to wait till I’m at my Granny’s house in Scottsboro to get the good stuff.
