If you’re a fan of Toby Keith, you probably know there’s a restaurant chain named after his hit single, “I love this Bar.” If you’re in Vegas, you’ll find they have one at Harrah’s Casino. One of his menu items is considered by most visitors to be a novelty. Toby swears it’s the best-selling item on the menu. What is? His fried bologna sandwich.
Well, Mr. Toby Keith, we are here and now. going with everything with our New Bologna Sandwich. We invite you to choose this recipe and serve it to all your fans. We think it takes your sandwich (which is delicious, by the way) to a new level and will keep your devotees coming back for seconds. Here it is for the first time anywhere:
Ingredients:
2 slices of sliced bread (wheat or natural)
1 thick slice of bologna (fresh)
1 thick slice of American cheese
3 slices of “hypocrite” bacon (you know, the kind that’s already pre-cooked, just needs to be heated) Oh, a man’s kitchen friend is a pre-cooked thing that needs heat) Yes, you can fry your own slices of bacon.
Mustard (Please don’t smear this sandwich with ketchup, unless you have to)
Butter
Now it’s time to make our sandwich. I started to say come on man-up our sandwich because women seem to get a little weird when you mention “bologna”. Ladies, come on, a slice of bologna is a wonderful snack on its own. Try it, you will like it.
1. Butter the bread on both slices and put that cheese on the inside of one piece of bread and toast or grill. (if you’re toasting the bread, let it brown slightly, oozing lots of butter) Now you’re ready for the bacon and bologna. Oh yeah!
2. Put that thick slice of bologna in your microwave and cook for 30 seconds.
(You’ll love the snap and pop of the bologna as it heats up)
3. Heat precooked bacon for 20 seconds (a little more or a little less).
4. Take the bacon and bologna and slide them into the two slices of grilled cheese bread.
5. Sprinkle some mustard on the bead opposite the cheese side (mustard to your liking)
6. Put the two sides together and you have a delicious new bologna/bacon and grilled cheese sandwich. I call it The Toby Keith Eat Your Heart Out Sandwich.
If you get down to business and get organized, you can whip up one of these new sandwiches in less than 10 minutes. But why hurry, you will have so much fun? Invite your friends and serve it as your specialty of the night.
Serve with French Fries, Sweet Pickles on one side (other can be substituted), three fresh crisp celery sticks, and your favorite soda, orange juice, water, or your choice of adult beverage.
Maybe superstar Toby Keith will take a look at this sandwich and add it to his menus, but even if he doesn’t, you should add it to yours. It’s super delicious and surprisingly satisfying and filling. Enjoy.
