Pizza Spins
A savory open-faced sandwich featuring seasoned hamburger and sausage topped with melted Velveeta cheese, perfect for quick gatherings or casual bites with bold flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger meat and sausage; drain excess fat.
- Spread Velveeta cheese on top of the cooked meat mixture.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and garlic salt to the mixture.
- Spread the mixture on cocktail bread.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for 4 to 6 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of Italian sausage for a bit more spice. If you prefer a healthier option, you can substitute ground turkey for the hamburger meat. Additionally, feel free to use a different cheese like mozzarella or cheddar instead of Velveeta. To save time, you can prepare the meat mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to assemble and bake.
Serving Suggestions
These pizza spins are perfect as an appetizer for game day or as a party snack. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some homemade dipping sauces like marinara or ranch. They also pair beautifully with a hearty Sunday Night Supper Sandwich for a complete meal. For an extra crunch, consider serving with a side of crispy vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizza spins on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as this may make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pizza spins ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply spread it on the cocktail bread and bake. This makes them a convenient option for entertaining or last-minute gatherings.
What can I use instead of cocktail bread?
If you can't find cocktail bread, you can use baguette slices, pita chips, or even mini pizza crusts as a base. Each option will give a different texture, but they'll all work well with the flavorful meat and cheese mixture.
How do I know when the pizza spins are done?
The pizza spins are done when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are slightly crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to ensure they don't overcook.
