Instructions
 

  • Start off by prepping your pork butt and patting it dry. Apply mustard on the whole surface area and then season generously with your favorite pork rub. 
  • Smoke the pork butt at 250 degrees for 10-12 hours (I typically like to do this overnight). Spritz every 45 mins after 2 hours with apple cider vinegar. 
  • Wrap at 165 with foil and add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of beef broth. Add back in the smoker. Remove when the pork butt is probe tender and then rest in the cooler for 2 hours.
  • When the pork butt is finished you can store it for later and use some for this epic Bologna Sandwich.
  • Get a whole roll of bologna and score it vertically and horizontally. Spray with duck fat spray and then season generously with your favorite pork rub.
  • Smoke the bologna for 2 hours at 275 degrees.
  • Remove from the smoker and then slice into 1/4” slices.
  • Get a cast iron over medium heat and fry up some bacon. Set it to the side when it's done.
  • Toast your bread.
  • Add the pulled pork to the cast iron and crisp it. Add the Oaxaca cheese and mix well. Place in the bowl to the side when done.
  • Fry 2 slices of smoked bologna for 60-90 seconds per side. After the first flip, add American cheese and let it melt.
  • Assemble The Ultimate Bologna Sandwich in this order, Pickles, Fried Bologna slice, Pulled Pork, Drizzle some bbq sauce, Add bacon and then top with another fried bologna slice. 
  • It’s complete and enjoy!
