Ingredients
Instructions
- Grind the bologna and cheese together until well combined.
- Add mayonnaise and relish to taste and mix until the spread reaches a desired consistency.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother spread, consider using a food processor instead of grinding by hand. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. You can also add finely chopped pickles or a dash of mustard for extra flavor. For a vegetarian version, try using plant-based bologna and cheese to create a satisfying spread that fits vegan recipes.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sandwich spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you need to reheat it, do so gently in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds, stirring to ensure even warming. Avoid overheating, as this can alter the texture of the spread.
