Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Velveeta cheese
- Bread slices (for spreading)
Instructions
-
Brown and Drain the Meats: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until both meats are thoroughly browned and cooked through. Once done, carefully drain any excess fat to ensure the mixture isn’t greasy.
-
Melt the Cheese: While the meats are cooking, cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. In a separate saucepan, melt the cheese over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning. This should take about 5 minutes.
-
Combine Meat and Cheese: Once the cheese is fully melted and smooth, pour it over the browned meat mixture. Stir well to ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed and fully combined with the meat.
-
Spread on Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the meat and cheese mixture on top of each slice. You can use any type of bread you prefer, but bite-sized pieces or mini toast work especially well for serving at parties.
-
Bake: Arrange the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread edges are golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These Hanky Pankies are best enjoyed warm and fresh from the oven, making them a perfect choice for any gathering or as a delicious snack any time.
