For a smoother texture, consider grinding the beef in a food processor before mixing. Using ice water helps to keep the meat cool during mixing, preventing the fat from melting and resulting in a better texture. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as paprika, white pepper, or a pinch of cayenne pepper, to customize the flavor to your liking. Ensure the bologna is thoroughly chilled before slicing for best results. This bologna is delicious on sandwiches, as part of a charcuterie board, or even pan-fried for a crispy treat.
