Tammy's Review: 

This is one of the best bolognas you will ever try! It's easy to make and full of flavor. If you like good-quality cold-cuts, you'll love this homemade bologna!! My rating: 10/10

Can this be sent through the mail?

I'm really interested in making this recipe. I'm hoping to mail some as gifts. It says in the recipe to refrigerate. Does this mean I would not be able to mail it, or is it okay if it is not refrigerated for a few days?

Beef Bolona is Balony

This is not Bolona - it's salami.

huge difference. and if you like this recipe, you should look under make beef salmi. i have seen people try to pass this off as peperoni and all sorts of different names.

it's salmi. there is no other way to describe it. Its good! dont get me wrong. but its for sure not bolona.

Make again

My husband has told me three times now that this is a make again. In my house that is the best compliment one can get. My two boys had seconds and wanted thirds but decided against stuffing themselves. I think I am going to try to add some jalapeños and sharp cheddar to the beef next time. We will see:)

A 10 from my husband and me!

I have to admit that I was skeptical of this recipe, but my husband heard the words "home-made bologna" and insisted we try it. :) I'm glad he did! I made this on a rack as annejisca suggested, and it turned out beautifully-- smells incredible and tastes better. I did add a bit more garlic powder (per my husband's request) which gave it some kick.

10/10 Great Sandwich!

I, personally, am a sandwich person. I love to make sandwiches, and what is better than making the bologna, too?? This bologna is very easy to make and easy to slice very thin. It goes great on a sandwich with lettuce and cheese, or plain with cheese and crackers! This is a must-try!

Awesome snack and sandwich meat!

This is the easiest snack/sandwich meat I've ever tried. It's NOT bologna! =) It's very tasty, easy to make, healthy, and great to have on hand. I personally cooked it on a rack (placed on a cookie sheet) so that the extra fat could drip off.

How dare you call this Bologna! (10/10)

Do not, I repeat, do not confuse this recipe for the slimey, bland mystery meat sold at supermarts. Grouping this recipe with typical processed bolognas is like confusing buzzard with game hen!

This recipe, courtesy of Tammy's mother, is delicious. It has a solid, dense feel and a summer sausage like texture. The bologna is robust and tasty with a slight spicy flavor. It goes great on sandwiches, crackers, and plain.

This is the best homemade lunch meat I have ever tasted. Once you try it I am sure you will agree. A must try recipe.
