Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork sausage until fully browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Velveeta cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Arrange the rye cocktail bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of rye bread. Spread the mixture evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crisp and the cheese topping is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
