Beef - Ring Bologna (hot or regular!)

1lb | Ready to slice

On Sale!

Regular or hot? We honestly don’t know. Due to a labeling mix-up, both varieties ended up together—so adventurous eaters get a great deal and a surprise.

About this cut

Hot Ring Bologna is a traditional smoked sausage made from beef, seasoned with salt, spices, and a touch of sweetness before being slowly smoked.

The “ring” shape comes from the way the sausage is stuffed and linked before smoking. This style of bologna has long been popular across Pennsylvania and the Midwest — known for its rich smoky flavor and a (potential) gentle heat from cayenne and crushed red pepper.

Ours is made in small batches using simple ingredients and traditional smoking methods.

What makes our bologna special

  • Made with 100% grass-fed beef and soy-free pork
  • Naturally hardwood smoked for deep, traditional flavor
  • Small-batch crafted – carefully prepared for consistency and quality
  • Balanced seasoning – savory, smoky, and — maybe — mildly spicy
  • Fully cooked – ready to slice and enjoy

Flavor & cooking notes

Fully cooked and ready to slice. It’s perfect for sandwiches, snack boards, or lightly browned in a skillet.

The texture is firm but tender, making it great for slicing thin or cutting into hearty chunks. The balance of smoke, spice, and a hint of sweetness makes it incredibly versatile.

While it’s fully cooked and ready to eat, warming it in a skillet or on the grill brings out even more flavor.

How we use it at home

  • Sliced cold with cheese and crackers
  • Lightly browned in a skillet for sandwiches
  • Cut into chunks for snack boards or lunches
  • Added to breakfast with eggs and potatoes

Good to know

Our Ring Bologna is fully cooked and naturally smoked, so it’s ready to eat straight from the package if you like. The natural smoking process means color and surface texture may vary slightly from batch to batch — a normal sign of traditional smoked sausage
