Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bologna slices
• 4 whole Hamburger buns
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 4 whole Lettuce leaves
• 1 whole Tomato
• 8 slices Pickle slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 2

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Add the thick-cut bologna slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 4

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each bologna slice during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns by spreading the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on the cut sides and placing them face down on a clean skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly onto the top and bottom halves of the toasted buns.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a slice of the cooked bologna with melted cheese, a tomato slice, and two pickle slices.

Step 8

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper on top of the stack, then add the top bun to finish the burger.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or chips, and enjoy your Bologna Burger!
