Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix the cooked meats with Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic salt.

Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding diced onions and bell peppers while sautéing the meats. You can substitute the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack for a milder taste, or use pepper jack for some heat. If you're looking to reduce fat, lean ground turkey can replace the sausage and hamburger. Adjust the Worcestershire sauce to your taste, especially if you're serving it with something like Cheese Scalloped Potatoes And Ham.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sausage sandwich spread generously on rye bread or with your favorite crackers for a delightful appetizer. It pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or sliced vegetables for a balanced meal. Consider serving alongside Bacon And Cauliflower Salad for a hearty side. Guests will love it as a dip at gatherings or as a savory sandwich filling.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can heat it gently in a skillet over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. This spread is also great for meal prep, so consider making a larger batch!
