Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 pound processed cheese (such as Velveeta)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 loaf cocktail rye bread
Instructions
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and pork sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return the meat mixture to the pan.
Cut the processed cheese into cubes and add it to the skillet with the cooked meat. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the cheese has fully melted and combined with the meat.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to distribute seasoning evenly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the cocktail rye bread slices in a single layer on two large baking sheets.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of rye bread, spreading the mixture evenly to cover the bread.
Bake the prepared slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread edges are crispy and the topping is bubbly.
Serve the Hanky Panky appetizers warm, and enjoy!
