Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz deli bologna, thick-sliced
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
- 8 oz buttery round crackers for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Soften cream cheese until spreadable at room temperature.
- Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth.
- Set a serving plate on the counter. Slide two parchment strips under the center to catch smears.
- Place one bologna slice on the plate. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over it.
- Repeat, stacking bologna and spread, until the meat is used. End with spread on top.
- Frost the sides with remaining spread. Smooth with an offset spatula or knife.
- Chill 20 to 30 minutes to firm up the layers.
- Press cheddar onto the sides. Scatter olives and parsley over the top for garnish.
- Slide out parchment. Slice into wedges and serve with crackers.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the cream cheese for whipped cream cheese for a lighter texture, or add 1 tsp ranch seasoning for a zesty twist. Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days; garnish just before serving for best texture.
