Hanky Pankies! A delicious midwestern appetizer classic!

This dish may sound naughty, and it can be, but it is immensely delicious, super easy and inexpensive! All the good things! These are also known as Sh!t on a Shingle, Polish Mistakes (I resemble that remark!), and of course, Hanky Pankies. Serve these in your rumpus room at your next rumpus. Just make sure it doesn’t get out of hand!
One thing that’s great about this is you can use the meat and cheese mix for other things. Baked potatoes, hot dogs, warm dip with crackers, in a bread bowl, and more. If you can dream it, you can do it!

Hanky Pankies:
- 1lb bulk sausage, preferably hot
- 1lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 16oz block Velveeta, cut into cubes
- Cocktail pumpernickel and/or rye (or thin sliced full size loaf slices cut in half)
1. In large frying pan over medium-high heat, brown sausage and beef, using spatula to break into small even pieces
2. Once it is browned, drain off excess fat and return to medium-low heat
3. Add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir to fully combine and reduce heat to low.
4. Add Velveeta cubes and slowly melt until homogenous. Once it is fully melted and even, turn off heat. Check salt level, but most likely will not need.
5. On sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray, lay out your bread. Add enough of the meat mixture evenly over each slice to just over the thickness of the bread. At this point you can either freeze these on the sheet pan and transfer to a zip top bag and store in freezer for future use, or continue on to next step to serve immediately.
6. Top each piece with shredded cheese of your choice. Also top with anything else you want. Pickled sliced jalapenos pair beautifully.
7. Bake in 400 degree F oven for 15 minutes
8. Remove from oven and transfer to serving dish. Serve hot.
9. Enjoy!

Omg/ I love that you did a video of this I was just thinking of doing it myself next month!!! I love them so nostalgic

Yum, I'd make them. Kind of reminds me of the NY chopped cheese sandwich.

Great job! I found out the place went out of business that makes the cocktail rye!! I have found it at Woodman's Grocery store in Janesville, WI and County Market in Dixon, IL. I bet we could get a bakery to make it for us!! Otherwise, I will use what you did today!

I use 1 lb sausage and a pound of fresh button mushrooms. Delicious. Try it

This is so farfetched, I've got to try it.

I think this would be good on burger buns instead of Sloppy Joes.
