Preparing the Bologna
- Cut the Bologna: Start by removing the casing from 1 kilo of bologna. Cut the bologna into thick steaks, then into strips, and finally into cubes.

- Smoke the Bologna: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the bologna cubes on a baking tray and smoke in the oven for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the bologna, as smoking times may vary depending on your oven’s power.

Mixing Bologna with Sauce
- Add Butter and Sauce: Once the bologna has finished smoking, remove it from the oven. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the sauce you prepared. Mix very well until the bologna cubes are thoroughly coated.
