Hanky Panky Bites
Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Ground hot sausage 1 lb
Ground beef (80% lean) 1 lb
Velveeta cheese 1 lb
Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon
Oregano 1 ½ teaspoons
Garlic powder 1 teaspoon
Party rye or pumpernickel bread 1 (12 oz) package
Instructions:
Brown the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground hot sausage and ground beef. Break the meat into small pieces using a spoon or spatula. Cook until the meat is fully browned and there is no pink remaining.
Drain the grease: Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
Melt cheese and combine: Return the skillet to the stovetop and lower the heat to low. Add the Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder to the cooked meat. Stir briefly to distribute the seasonings. Then, add the Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir the mixture constantly until the cheese is completely melted and everything is evenly combined into a smooth, cheesy filling.
Preheat oven and arrange bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the slices of party rye or pumpernickel bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Top the bread: Using a spoon or small scoop, place about 2 tablespoons of the hot meat and cheese filling onto each slice of bread.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the bread is lightly toasted around the edges.
Serve hot: Serve the Hanky Panky Bites immediately while they are hot and the cheese is melted and gooey. Enjoy these savory and cheesy appetizers!
