CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER

Cheese Squares Appetizer image

This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.

Categories Cheese Pork Appetizer Bake Quick & Easy Tailgating

Yield feeds 10-15 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

--1 pkg ground mild sausage
--1 pkg ground hot sausage
--1 medium onion, chopped
--1 small red bell pepper, chopped
--1 small pkg of mexican Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks
-- 1 loaf party rye or pumpernickel bread (small square loaf)

Steps:

In a skillet, brown both packages of sausage together. Drain. Add the chopped onions & peppers. Continue to sauté for 5-8 minutes, or until the chopped ingredients cook. Slowly add in the velveeta cheese in chunks as it begins to melt. Continue to do so until you use the entire block of cheese. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees & continue to cook the mixture on the stove an additional 10 minutes or so, or until the cheese has melted & the mixture is bubbly. Line a cookie sheet with the party rye bread slices. Spoon the mixture onto the slices evenly. Continue until you use up the entire loaf. Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is slightly toasted & the mixture has lightly browned. ***Suggestions if you like things spicy: Use 2 packages of hot sausage instead of the mild & add chopped jalapenos. Your choice!
