this is the ultimate football food, I made two of these, I sliced them up and had white bread and onions and mustard, for sandwiches. 12lb of bologna gone in a heart beat. thanks Emeril for another great recipe.

I hate to be the one to tell the truth here - but this recipe is not good! First, I LOVE Emeril Lagasse, and I think virtually everything he cooks is 'da bomb'! But, the baked bologna is one of those recipes where he must have included it just because he had to, not because he really eats this stuff! NOBODY eats this!

I followed the recipe exactly as written, using a high quality bologna, and high quality ingredients. I cooked it the right time. It came out gross. After baking, the meat has the texture and aroma of a baked baby. . . .

And it goes down hill from there.

The bologna skin quickly becomes clogged, not crusted, with brown sugar that turns to mustard flavored molassas. It is a GREAT thing that I lined the pan with foil - once baked, the dripped off sugar is such a nasty slimy mess that you are glad you can simply throw it all away. There is no way to recycle the aluminum foil after this debacle.

Do yourself a favor - skip right along to another recipe now. Quickly, before you fall victim as I did! After baking this bologna, rather than the whole roll of fried bologna taste that I thought I might have, I recognized it for the discomfort one gets down wind from the dog catcher crematorium.

As for those who give this many stars, and find it a "Big Hit" - I have no idea what you eat at home on your regular days, but if this is a treat, your family and friends are just being really nice to you.

My youngest son's birthday is today and he requested that I make this dish. I made it on Super Bowl Sunday and it has stood out as not only good and tasty, but a good change to ham and turkey. As I am making it for the second time, I know to use the smaller hole bologna rather than the large.

I did not like the taste of the topping at all. The brown sugar started to burn a little but the inside of the bologna was not baked through. I have to say though that the reason was that the type/size of cut of bologna I bought. It was really thick. That might be why it did not come out right.

This was the easiest and best recipe for a picnic sandwich or a family night pot luck. It's delicious.

One of the best surprises of 2006. If you haven't tried this one, drop your prejudices and give it a go - you'll have the surprise of your life especially if you cut off about a 1/2" slice and put it between two slices of homemade whole wheat bread with a slather of good mustard.

This one's a winner!

I made this following the recipe exactly, on SuperBowl Sunday. I made it especially for the guys, because I thought it would be awesome with the white bread, mustard, and of course, beer. EVERYONE, kids, women, and of course the guys LOVED it. This is definitely a keeper
