I got this recipe from my Sister-In-Law and made some day before yesterday. It was better than I expected. More like salami than bologna. I may try the next batch on the pit, but I definitely will be making more.
Trail Bologna
2 pounds ground round
2 Tablespoons Morton Tender Quick
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon black pepper
Peppercorns to taste.
Mix thoroughly. Shape into 4 logs. Put in plastic wrap or a covered plastic dish.
Let set in refrigerator 24 hours
Bake on rack at 300 degrees for one hour.
Turn logs over and bake 10 more minutes.
Here's a picture of what is left.

Re: Trail Bologna
Interesting... Might have to try it one of these days... Wonder if ya could pass it through the fine plate on the grinder a few times and then stuff it into summer sausage type casings for a more bologna type product?

Re: Trail Bologna
James: I don't know, but if you do it,, let me know the results. This stuff tasted surprisingly good. I didn't think it looked all that great just looking at the recipe but was pleasantly surprised
I sliced some of it thin and ate with crackers and cheese for lunch. I think on the next batch I will used cracked black pepper instead of the peppercorns. The peppercorns are a little like eating BBs.
I also think it might be good on pizza instead of that expensive pepperoni.

Re: Trail Bologna
Interesting. That looks like some good tasting stuff. I think I would do the cracked pepper too.

Re: Trail Bologna
I will give that a try - I think you had a good thought about the smoker - maybe leave out the liquid smoke, and cook it in some hickory smoke instead.

Moderator note: Topic to this forum by Deputy Dave
Might want to add some ground mace and/or sugar too. Bet they would turn out even better if you smoked at 225² to 250° to instead of using the oven. You can also wrap 'em in plastic wrap and leave the wrap on for about the first 30 minutes to have them hold their shape. The plastic won't melt. Personally, I'd let 'em cure for 48 hours in the fridge but that's just me.

Let us know how it turns out in the casings. I've got the urge to make some sausage when I get back home...

Re: Trail Bologna
I have made that before with casings but I oversmoked it all in all it was good just too smoky. That was some years ago on a R2D2 type. Time I tried it again.
