Ingredients

  • 1-2 slices of thick Bologna
  • 2 Slices of Bread whole wheat
  • 1 tsp of Olive oil
  • 1-2 slices of Cheese of choice
  • 1 tbsp of Yellow mustard
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tbsp of Butter for toasting
  • 1 can of Tomato soup
  • 1 tbsp of Italian seasonings

Instructions

  • Heat the soup and seasonings in a small pot.
  • Put oil in a frying pan and heat to medium-low heat, add onions, sautéing them for 5-9 minutes until desired golden sweetness & crunchiness. Then remove them and set them aside.
  • Slit an X in the middle of the bologna to prevent it from curling up.
  • Add a bit more oil, then brown both sides of the bologna until desired charring over medium-high heat. Remove.
  • Add butter to the pan to melt over medium-low heat, then place a slice of bread into the butter to absorb it. Add a slice of cheese, a slice of bologna, some sautéed onions and mustard, another slice of bologna, another slice of cheese, and top with the other slice of bread. Once done to the desired toastiness, add more butter before flipping and browning the other side.
  • ENJOY!
