Bologna is a lunch meat that people often get snooty about. But we think this iconic American staple deserves to have its own holiday, and we’re thrilled to celebrate National Bologna Day.
Bologna is low in carbs and is a flavorful, mild sausage. Studies suggest we should limit our intake of processed meats for our health. But you can enjoy the foods you like in moderation occasionally! And we’re celebrating National Bologna Day with four recipes that are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
We’re starting off with a delicious side salad that is perfect for potlucks. It brings together the crunchy textures of bell peppers and cucumbers and the firmer textures of bologna and cauliflower into a dish that will have people coming back for seconds. A serving has 296 calories, five grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and 28 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
These are a wonderful lunch option. They’re so fast and easy to make. They are also filling and satisfying. You season cream cheese and add it and spinach to a slice of bologna. We love how simple they are because they make an excellent packed lunch. A serving has 156 calories, six grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and 13 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
For this recipe, you need unsliced bologna from the deli. You season five pounds of bologna and smoke it for amazing bologna sandwiches. We’ve heard this called “the poor man’s ham.” And while some people might be upset if you served it on Thanksgiving, anyone would be thrilled if you served it any other night! And, even on Thanksgiving, we don’t think many people would complain! A serving has 591 calories, 11 grams of carbs and 47 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
This is a recipe that is so simple, it’s the sort of thing you might teach a child. Having said that. It’s a really tasty breakfast. A few slices of bologna, an egg and a slice of cheese are cooked together in the microwave. The dish is ready to eat in under three minutes. You can enjoy it with a slice of low-carb toast and have a high-protein, low-carb start to your day. A serving has 300 calories, 15 grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and 19 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope you love all of these ways to enjoy bologna!
