Ingredients
- 1 lb. Hot Pork Sausage
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. M-K Granulated Black Pepper
- 1/3 c. Green Pepper, chopped
- 1/3 c. Onion, chopped
- 1 T. M-K Oregano Flakes
- 1/2 tsp. M-K Granulated Garlic
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 lb. Soft Cheese (like Velveeta or a similar product), cut up
- 2 loaves Party Rye Bread
Directions
- Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chopping the green pepper and onion. Cut the soft cheese into small chunks.
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage and ground beef together. Season with salt and M-K Granulated Black Pepper.
- Drain Excess Fat: Once the meats are thoroughly browned and cooked, drain off any excess fat.
- Add Vegetables: To the skillet, add the chopped green peppers and onions. Saute until the onions are translucent and the peppers have softened.
- Season: Stir in M-K Oregano Flakes, M-K Granulated Garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Melt the Cheese: Add the chunks of soft cheese to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Assemble: Lay out the slices of Party Rye Bread on flat trays or baking sheets. Spread each slice generously with the meat and cheese mixture.
- Freeze: Place the loaded rye slices flat in the freezer. Once they’re fully frozen, transfer them into a plastic freezer bag or airtight container. This makes it easy to bake a few at a time whenever you want.
- Bake: When you’re ready to serve, preheat your oven to 400°. Arrange your chosen amount of frozen rye snacks on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they’re hot and slightly crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, serve them warm and watch them disappear!
