Ingredients
- 50 slices cocktail rye bread slices
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 cup pepperoni, finely chopped
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and ground pork sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles, until fully cooked and browned (approximately 8 to 10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the finely chopped pepperoni, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Lay the cocktail rye bread slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the pizza mixture onto each slice of rye bread, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread edges are crispy and the topping is bubbly and slightly golden.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes. Serve warm as a fun and flavorful appetizer!
