CARL JOHN'S FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICH
Steps:
- In a cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter and then add the bologna. Fry until the bologna turns dark golden brown and then flip and fry the other side, about 2 minutes per side. Top each slice of bologna with 2 slices of cheese and let melt.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on 4 slices of the bread and mustard on the remaining 4 slices. Place a slice of cheese-covered fried bologna on a slice of bread topped with mayonnaise, then layer on a piece lettuce and tomato. Top with a slice of bread topped with mustard. Repeat with the remaining slices of fried bologna. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.

Steps:
- Spread one slice of bread with mayonnaise and the other slice with yellow mustard.
- Heat a medium skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Make a 1-inch X in the center of each piece of bologna to keep it from curling up in the skillet. Wipe the skillet with a stick of butter until lightly greased. Add the bologna and fry a couple of minutes on each side until browned. Stack up the bologna in the skillet and top with the cheese. Cover with a large inverted bowl and heat until melted.
- Transfer the bologna to one of the slices of bread. Top with the chow chow, potato chips and lettuce. Top with the other slice of bread and give it a little push to crush the potato chips down a bit. Enjoy immediately.
