Ingredients
- 1 1 loaf cocktail or party size Rye bread 35 slices
- 1 1 pound ground beef
- 1 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ 2 ½ cups whole milk warmed
- 1/4 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/4 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly shredded
- salt to taste
- parsley for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325° and arrange rye bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Heat a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and sausage. Break apart with a spoon and cook until brown (let it rest some to create a nice Maillard reaction). Season with salt as it's cooking to layer in flavor.
- Once cooked, drain the excess fat, then stir in the oregano, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and additional salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate skillet or saucepan, create a roux by melting the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and continue cooking for a few minutes to get the flour taste to cook out. Slowly whisk in warmed milk. Whisk in mustard powder and white pepper. Remove from heat.
- Add shredded cheese 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to melt in between additions. Stir in the meat mixture until completely combined.
- Top rye bread slices with meat mixture. Bake for 15 minutes. Top with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Freshly shredded cheese will melt best!
