Hanky Panky
Description
The recipe starts by browning ground beef and hot pork sausage, then combining them with diced Velveeta cheese and seasonings to create a creamy, spicy meat mixture. The cheeses melt into the meat during gentle cooking, resulting in a unified rich filling.
The seasoned mixture is spooned onto rye bread slices arranged on a baking sheet. Baking at a high temperature crisps the bread edges while warming the topping until it bubbles, creating a contrast of textures and vibrant flavor from the hot sausage and oregano.
Hanky Panky is typically served warm, suitable for appetizers or casual dinners. Variations in bread type can tailor the dish's specifics without losing the core flavor.
The meat mixture can be prepared ahead and stored before assembling and baking, allowing for quick serving when needed.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound pork sausage hot
- 1 pkg Velveeta cheese 16 oz, diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- 1 loaf rye bread cocktail size
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brown the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat until browned. Then drain off any excess grease.
- Add in diced Velvet cheese, garlic salt, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook on low until the cheese is melted and fully combined with the beef and pork.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Top each piece of the bread with the meat mixture.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is toasted and the topping is bubbling.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Any rye or pumpernickel bread works well if cocktail rye is unavailable.
- The meat mixture can be made in advance, then assembled on bread and baked just before serving.
- Served warm, Hanky Panky suits both appetizers and light meals.
