Instructions:
-
Brown the Meat and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, pork sausage, and diced onion until the meat is cooked through and the onion is translucent. Stir occasionally to break up the meat into crumbles.
-
-
Add Velveeta Cheese: Once the meat is cooked, add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted and well combined with the meat mixture. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
-
Season to Taste: Sprinkle in cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to add a spicy kick to the mixture. Adjust the amount according to your preference for heat. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices throughout the meat and cheese mixture.
-
Let Cool: Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. This step is important to prevent the topping from becoming too runny when assembled on the cocktail rye slices.
-
Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Once the meat mixture has cooled, mound it generously onto cocktail rye slices, spreading it evenly to cover each slice. Place the assembled slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is hot and bubbly, and the edges of the cocktail rye slices are golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the hanky panky appetizers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Arrange them on a platter and watch as they disappear quickly, delighting your guests with their irresistible flavors.
Enjoy your delicious Hanky Panky appetizers as a crowd-pleasing addition to any gathering or party! ๐
