A combination of ground beef, sausage and Velveeta cheese on rye party bread; this flavorful appetizer will disappear as soon as it's out of the oven!
I have had this recipe since the mid 1980's and usually make this easy appetizer on Christmas with my extended family. As soon as they are out of the oven, these individual appetizers are gone because they are that good. A friend I worked with gave me the recipe and at the time I didn't know that they are also referred to as Hanky Pankies, Polish Mistakes, or Polish Disasters. They aren't pretty, but this Buffalo Chips recipe is super easy to make and very tasty! You will want to add this to your appetizer recipe collection!

How to Make Buffalo Chips
Once the meat is browned, add the Velveeta cheese and spices and spread on the Party Rye Bread. So easy and so delicious.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and sausage on medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat and return to the stovetop.
Step 2: Add the Velveeta and stir until cheese melts. Add the oregano, garlic salt and red pepper flakes and stir until fully combined.
Step 3: Spread 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture on to party rye slices and place a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from sheet pan and place on a serving plate and repeat the process.
How to Store Buffalo Chips
The meat mixture should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Any leftover baked Buffalo Chips may be stored on a plate covered with plastic wrap or in a plastic bag. Store at room temperature for up to 1-2 days.
You may also freeze the meat mixture individually for up to 3 months or spread on the bread and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, place on sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
