Sausage and Rye Party Breads

These Sausage and Rye Party Breads are a perfect appetizer no matter what the occasion. Cocktail rye bread is topped with browned sausage and cheese then baked to golden perfection.  This is a great appetizer to keep on hand in the freezer and pop in the oven when you need something at the last minute.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Sausage
  • 2 lb Velveeta Cheese
  • 1 loaf Cocktail Rye Bread

Instructions

  1. In an extra large skillet, brown and drain sausage .

  2. Cube Velveeta and place in the skillet.  Place browned sausage on top of cheese.  Melt the cheese on low, stirring to incorporate the sausage.

  3. Once cheese is melted and sausage is incorporated, spread onto cocktail rye bread. 

  4. At this point, I like to flash freeze these for about 30 minutes and transfer to freezer bags.  Then just take them out as needed and bake for about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until sausage and cheese mixture is warmed and browned.

  5. If you want to serve them immediately, just pop them into the oven to let the bread crisp a little and the topping to brown.
