Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 pound processed cheese (Velveeta), cubed
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 loaf party rye bread slices (cocktail-style rye)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and pork sausage together until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Break up any clumps as the meat cooks.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the meat mixture to the pan.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cubed processed cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and well combined with the meat.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Place slices of party rye bread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of rye bread, spreading it evenly.
Bake the party ryes in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crispy and the topping is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a party appetizer or snack.
