Ingredients for Baloney Bologna Gravy

  • 1 lb bologna, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2-4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (adjust to desired thickness)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Baloney Bologna Gravy

  1. Cut 1 lb of bologna into 1-inch squares.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bologna and cook until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle 2-4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the bologna, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Season generously with 1-2 teaspoons of black pepper (or to taste).
  6. Serve immediately over warm biscuits, topped with a couple of fried eggs for a hearty and satisfying breakfast.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
