Healthified Party Pizza Appetizers

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a medium baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Arrange cocktail rye bread slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

3. 3

   Place ground sausage in a skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain (if necessary - mine had no fat) and return to pan.

4. 4

   Dump in the mushrooms, Worcestershire, ketchup, oregano, garlic powder, hot sauce and the cubed cheese; decrease heat to medium and stir until melted.

5. 5

   Place approximately 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture on each slice of cocktail bread and spread slightly (but don't put it all the way to the edge to avoid runoff).

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.

7. 7

   Feel free to freeze these AFTER baking for serving later - they are awesome heated from the freezer too!
