How to Make Garlic Bologna

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb bologna, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Divide the mixture into three equal parts.
Roll each part into a log shape (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours (or up to 48 hours for a more intense flavor).
Remove plastic wrap and place the logs on a baking sheet.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
