Recipe View 15 mins Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry bologna slices in the hot skillet until browned and slightly crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Wipe excess grease from the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and melt butter. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir the sautéed onion into the warm mashed potatoes, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Recipe View 30 mins Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, and the casserole is heated through, about 25-30 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the mashed potatoes.
Use a good quality bologna for the best taste and texture.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Colby, for the Cheddar.
Add a layer of cream of mushroom soup for extra creaminess.
To prevent the bologna from curling too much while frying, make a few small slits around the edges before cooking.
