Sausage-Hamburger Sandwich
A hearty and cheesy sausage-hamburger blend baked on Texas toast, perfect for casual gatherings or satisfying weeknight dinners with bold flavors and melty cheese.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry the sausage and hamburger together until cooked through; drain excess fat.
- Cut Velveeta cheese into chunks and add to the meat mixture, stirring until melted and well combined.
- Arrange slices of Texas toast on a sheet pan.
- Spread the meat and cheese mixture evenly over the toast.
- Place the sheet pan into a 350°F oven and bake until the toast is slightly browned and toasted, about 10-15 minutes.
- Watch closely to prevent burning and remove once nicely toasted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider using hot sausage or adding jalapeños to the meat mixture. If you don't have Velveeta cheese, you can substitute with a blend of cheddar and cream cheese for a similar creamy texture. Be sure to drain the meat well to avoid a soggy sandwich. Serve on regular bread if Texas toast isn't available.
Serving Suggestions
These sandwiches are perfect for a casual gathering or game day. Serve with a side of potato chips or a simple green salad. For a heartier meal, pair with a batch of Sauerkraut And Wieners. You can also top the sandwiches with pickles or hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the sandwich in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave it, but the oven will help maintain the toast's crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat and cheese mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just assemble the sandwiches and bake them when you're ready to serve. This makes it a great option for meal prep or busy weeknights.
What can I use instead of Texas toast?
If Texas toast isn't available, you can use any thick-sliced bread, such as sourdough or ciabatta. Just make sure the bread can hold the weight of the toppings without becoming soggy.
Can I freeze these sandwiches?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled sandwiches before baking. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the freezer for up to a month. When ready to bake, cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
