Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf cocktail rye bread
- 0.5 pound ground pork sausage
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces processed cheese (e.g., Velveeta)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage and ground beef until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
Cut the processed cheese into small cubes and add them to the skillet with the browned meats. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully combined with the meat.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavorings.
Place the cocktail rye bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of cocktail rye bread, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and the edges of the bread are crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy!
