Featuring a savory blend of seasoned ground beef and pork sausage, melted Velveeta cheese, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce, these bite-sized delights are served on crispy rye cocktail bread for the perfect balance of hearty and crunchy. With just 15 minutes of prep and a quick bake in the oven, they're an effortless yet highly satisfying snack for tailgates, holiday parties, or any casual gathering. Bursting with cheesy, meaty goodness and infused with garlic, onion, and oregano for a flavor-packed punch, these baked rye bites are sure to disappear fast. Serve them hot and watch your guests come back for seconds (or thirds)!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and ground pork sausage, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the Velveeta cheese (cut into cubes for easier melting) to the skillet with the cooked meats. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Lay the rye cocktail bread slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Top each bread slice with a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crispy and the topping is bubbly.
Remove the rye bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the perfect party snack!
