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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the meat mixture to the pan.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 6

Place slices of party rye bread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 7

Spoon a generous tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture onto each slice of rye bread, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a party appetizer or snack.
