Ingredients
- 8 slices bologna
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cups warm mashed potatoes
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry bologna slices in the hot skillet until browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe excess grease from the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and stir in butter and onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion into the warm mashed potatoes.
- Spread half of the mashed potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Layer with half of the fried bologna, and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, and the center is hot, about 30 minutes.

great. it is a keeper. thanks to all lunch room lades of the world.
Embrace your white trash side, and raise a toast to the lunchroom ladies! This is cheap, easy, and good. If you can find uncut bologna, use about a two-inch chunk, and cut it in about a half-inch dice before frying it at the same time as the onions. You might also try stirring some of the cheese (or a can of cream of mushroom soup) into the potatoes before layering them into the casserole.
I love this recipe and have made it for many years. It’s a great way to use up bologna and I would never have thought of it. I’m making it today for friends and googled the recipe. I’m pretty sure that when I first started making this, it was the only bologna casserole recipe around. Now there are lots of versions on the Internet. Guess that’s what happens with a great recipe!
Surprisingly good for such an easy recipe. The next time I’m going to put a thin line of mustard on the bottom layer of bologna for a little kick. Thanks for sharing it.
We are huge fans of Bologna but was still a tiny bit skeptical of this recipe. Well it was a huge hit! Definitely a keeper.
I added 12 slices bologna and extra cheese. I used instant mashed potatoes. I was a wonderful comfort food dish.
This is delicious. I did not have any bologna but I had wieners…same thing, just a different shape, right? I sliced the wieners and fried them with onion. Continued with original directions. Everyone at the table enjoyed. Some of us remembnered having this in school cafeteria back in 50’s.
My family enjoyed this dish. It’s a great dish on a cold night.
I love bologna and this was excellent.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet but I will. I had to rate it 5 star because the comment section was full of fantastic little stories of entire families with children from age 5 to 15 etc all loving it. It’s not the most exotic or nutritional ingredient selection but compared to processed foods with fillers and preservatives, this home-made recipe is nutritional compared to that stuff. And any time, in this day and age, where a family with children can sit and have a meal together, a meal with happiness and conversation, well any meal like that deserves 5 stars. Food shouldn’t just be rated for flavor or texture, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing this recipe, and thank you to all the people who shared their experience serving it to their families.
I only had 2c of mashed potatoes. I used 6 Bologna slices and 1 cup grated cheese. Put into 2 mini caseros dishes (bowls) – perfect size for bologna. The potatoes were boiled in chicken broth. Yummy!!! Not much nutrition in this dish but tasty.
Subbed out tater tots for mashed potatoes… Seasoned with garlic powder and seasoning salt because I took out the onions and butter. Doubled bologna to equal one pack. Delicious!!! Thank you “All Recipe”
This is so freaking good. I didn’t think it would be that great but my son wanted me to make it. So glad I did.
Found this one early morning just browsing recipes had all ingredients on hand and decided to make since had missed supper night before. I loved it. Thank you for sharing a delicious and easy recipe. Will make again and again.
WOW! This was actually very good and I HATE Bologna. I used garlic bologna and it was a HIT!!
I made this the night before last, and my 11-year-old son told me it was one of his 3 favorite things I had ever made! Of course, I don’t make comfort food like this very much; I tend to cook more healthy food, so that could be part of it. 🙂 I made the entire thing in the microwave, because it has been in the mid nineties lately. I “sauteed” the onions in a casserole dish with some butter-flavored spray, put some mashed potatoes over it that we had the night before, sprinkled with the cheese, topped with the bologna, and cooked it all in the microwave. It was a hit with everyone! served with a salad
My husband and I loved this recipe! I used sweet bologna instead of regular bologna. Easy to make and great tasting! Will make this again for sure.
Wow, this was way better than I thought it would be. It was creamy and salty and yummy! Didn’t change a thing. Great comfort food.
Very comfort-food and tasty. I quartered the bologna before frying to get a crisper texture and smaller pieces that would layer better. Also added sour cream to the warm potatoes.
My son decided he was going to start taking lunches and bought a HUGH roll of bologna.of course after a week or so he got tired of the sandwiches which left me with the problem of what to do with the remaining meat. I searched in here for an idea and found this recipe and since it had lots of great reviews I decided to give it a try. The only thing I added was some salt and pepper and a bit of extra butter in the mashed potatoes. I really don’t know what makes this so tasty but I’m with the majority. Great tasting and simple dish to make.Hey maybe next time I’ll buy the bologna on purpose just to make this dish again!
Eh. This meal is okay. If these ingredients are all you have or if you are just looking for something to feed small kids then this dish is easy and cheap. If you are looking for a good, appetizing meal, look elsewhere.
