Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and ground sausage until fully browned. Break the meat apart as it cooks to create small crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and add it to the skillet with the cooked meat.
Lower the heat to medium-low, stirring regularly until the cheese melts and is fully incorporated with the meat.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Lay out the cocktail rye bread slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Spoon a generous amount of the meat and cheese mixture onto each bread slice, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crispy and the topping is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a tasty appetizer or snack!
