Need proof? On Tuesday, D-O-Double G dropped his new cookbook, [From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg's Kitchen](. In it, Snoop dives into his pantry, name drops celebrity pals, and shares recipes from his upbringing and travels. Here's Snoop's recipe for the OG Fried Bologna Sandwich: "Now this is a certified hood classic. When I was a young’in in need of something to snack on, I could count on the fridge to hold me down with some leftover cold cuts. A favorite munchie was discovered when I had the bright idea of throwing that bologna in a frying pan. Fry that Oscar Meyer up with some cheese and you’re on your way to a bomb meal, Jack! But now that we moved on up, like The Jeffersons, that bologna turned into the finest aged meats. We ain’t eating this just cuz we have to. These days we eat it because what would go better with that thang we love to do so much. Maybe I’ll start making it with some “smoked” Gouda now. Get the picture?" Serves 1 Ingredients 3 slices bologna 1 Tbsp unsalted butter 2 slices white bread 1 tsp yellow mustard 3 slices American cheese Barbecue potato chips, as many as you want Directions 1. Place the bologna on a cutting board and cut one slit from the middle to the edge of each slice. 2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Swirl the skillet to cover the bottom completely. When the skillet is hot and the foam has subsided, add the bread. Lightly toast for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer to a cutting board and spread the mustard on one slice of bread. 3. Return the skillet to the heat and add the bologna in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Flip the bologna and top each slice with the American cheese. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the cheese starts to melt. 4. Place the fried bologna and cheese on the toasted bread slice without mustard and top with as many chips as you and your sandwich can handle. 5. Close the sandwich, placing the other bread slice, mustard-side down, on top. Go to town. Hungry for more food news?
