Tennessee Grilled Bologna Sliders made on the Arteflame Grill for that perfect char and juicy bite every time.
Introduction
There’s nothing quite like the smoky, nostalgic flavor of char-grilled bologna, especially when you cook it on the Arteflame Grill. With its unique open-fire design and the ability to sear meat at over 1,000°F on the center grate, Arteflame helps you take ordinary ingredients to extraordinary levels—like these Tennessee-style grilled bologna sliders. Perfectly seared, juicy, and packed with bold flavor, this signature Southern dish is made even better with mustard and pickles on a warm slider bun. Let’s fire up the grill!
Ingredients
8 thick-cut slices of bologna (½-inch thick)
8 slider buns
4 tbsp salted butter, melted
Yellow mustard (to taste)
Pickle chips (about 16)
Optional: smoked paprika or BBQ seasoning (light sprinkle for bologna)
The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.
Place three paper napkins in the center of the Arteflame grill.
Drizzle each napkin with a little vegetable oil.
Stack firewood on top and light the napkins.
Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes until the center reaches over 1,000°F and the outer flat top is hot.
Step 2: Prepare the Bologna
While the grill is heating, lightly score the edges of the bologna slices with a knife to prevent curling.
If using, lightly season with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or BBQ seasoning for an extra kick.
Step 3: Sear the Bologna
Place the bologna slices directly over the center grill grate.
Sear for 30-45 seconds per side until nicely charred and marked.
Move the slices to the flat griddle to finish cooking (about 2 more minutes per side), allowing them to sizzle in their own juices.
Step 4: Toast the Buns
Brush the inside of the slider buns with melted butter.
Place them butter-side-down on the flat cooktop near the outer edge.
Grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Place one slice of grilled bologna on each bun bottom.
Add yellow mustard and two pickle chips on top of the meat.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot!
1,000°F Sear for Steakhouse-Quality Perfection
Only The Arteflame’s center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, delivering the intense heat needed to sear steaks to perfection while keeping the inside juicy and as rare as you like it.
Use thick-cut bologna for the best texture and flavor absorption.
Sear first to lock in juices, then finish cooking on the outer griddle using reverse searing technique.
Remove bologna slices from the grill when they are about 15°F below your desired internal temp, as they continue to cook off heat.
Use salted butter for extra flavor when toasting buns.
Try to grill all the components at once—Arteflame's large surface makes it easy.
