- 1/2 small onion (optional)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Instructions:
- Grind the bologna, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and onion (if using) using a food grinder or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise and mustard, mixing until you reach your desired creaminess.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.
