Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb bulk hot sausage
1 lb velveeta, cubed
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
2 loaves cocktail rye bread ( i mix the dark & the light

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the meats and drain thoroughly, add onions and cook until onions start to soften, stir in cheese until melted, add Worcestershire, garlic salt and pepper...
  • 2. Spread a small amount of the meat mixture onto a slices of the party rye and spread to the edges and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3. NOTE VARIATION: The above directions are off of my original recipe...I put all the ingredients (except bread) into a regular size crock pot (not one of the big oval ones) and just cook on low till the cheese is melty and everything is almost bubbly. Just serve with bread right out of the crock pot. I find this to be much simpler than baking them although when the bread gets toasty on the edges from the baking process it makes them a little better I think. I have also used 2 lb. of the hot sausage and omitted the ground chuck for more zest!! Tweak to your taste.

HANKY PANKY



Hanky Panky image

This sweet 50/50 martini was created in the early 1900s by Ada Coleman, the head bartender at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London. It combines equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, finished with a splash of the bittersweet Italian amaro Fernet-Branca. Stick with the original recipe and use Fernet-Branca, or substitute another fernet. The amount you deploy depends on both individual taste and the intensity of the fernet used, so add it slowly, and as you like.

Categories     cocktails

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ice
1 1/2 ounces gin
1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fernet, such as Fernet-Branca, Contratto Fernet or Faccia Brutto Fernet Pianta
1 (2-inch-long) piece of orange peel, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a coupe or Nick and Nora glass in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour. (Alternatively, fill the coupe with ice and water, stir for 30 seconds, pour out the ice and water, and pour the finished drink into the now-chilled glass.)
  • In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled with ice, combine the gin, vermouth and fernet. Stir until very cold, about 30 seconds, then strain into the chilled cocktail glass. Hold the orange peel by its long edges, skin facing down into the glass. Pinch the peel to express the citrus oils into the glass and garnish with the orange peel.
