Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 lb Hot Pork Sausage e.g., Jimmy Dean
  • 1 lb Processed Cheese loaf e.g., Velveeta, cubed
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 package Cocktail Rye or Party Pumpernickel Bread

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and pork sausage together until fully cooked. Drain the excess grease well.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add the cubed processed cheese and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet.
  • Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and combined with the meat mixture.
  • Arrange the cocktail rye bread slices on a large baking sheet.
  • Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is crispy at the edges.
  • Serve warm. (Make-ahead tip: Arranged slices can be frozen on trays before baking and baked directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cook time.)
