WORLD FAMOUS HORSESHOE SANDWICH



World Famous Horseshoe Sandwich image

"Horseshoes" are a Springfield, Illinois original, first created by the chef at the "The Red Coach" for his luncheon clientèle. The story goes that he had a lot of extra cheese sauce left over one day and decided to throw it over the "chopped steak" and gravy sandwiches the patrons were always ordering. He added some shoestring potatoes on top, and a sensation was born! This recipe is a update of the original (which called for a whole cup of flour!) and your family will positively beg for more. Don't skimp on the cheese sauce. If your appetite is smaller, cut this in half. Then you have what we call around here, a "pony shoe"!

HORSESHOE



Horseshoe image

Every time we visit Springfield, Illinois we have to eat one of their famous horseshoes. The cheese sauce is a little different depending on where you stop to eat, seems everyone has their own way of making it. But we love them all. If you only use one slice of bread and one hamburger patty it is called a ponyshoe. This recipe can also be made with chicken tenders in place of the hamburger patties.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9 ounce) bag frozen french fries
1 pound ground beef
4 slices bread, toasted
½ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread french fries out on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, divide the ground beef into four equal parts and form into patties. Fry the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat until well done, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook while stirring constantly for 4 minutes to cook out the flavor of raw flour. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half so that no lumps form. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat and add the cheese; stir until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
  • Place 2 slices of toasted bread onto 2 dinner plates and top each slice with a hamburger patty. Top each patty with cooked french fries. Pour the cheese sauce on top of everything and serve immediately.

HORSESHOE SANDWICH



Horseshoe Sandwich image

I lived in Central Illinois (Havana) for 10 years where I was introduced this regional cuisine. It's an awesome Saturday night dinner! Very quick and easy way to make the cheese sauce. Great for kids! Not great if you're on a diet! LOL! But very tasty and filling. There are other versions of this recipe on RecipeZaar and I thought that mine was different enough to share.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -6 hamburger patties
10 1/2 ounces campbell's condensed cheddar cheese soup (10.5 ounces)
1/2-1 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (26 ounce) package French fries
4 -6 slices bread

Steps:

  • Prepare meat patties and drain.
  • Prepare french fries and salt lightly.
  • Prepare the cheese sauce by pouring one can of condensed cheddar soup in a sauce pan. Add 1/2 can of water (or less, depending on how thick you want the sauce). Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Heat until bubbly, then remove from heat.
  • Toast bread.
  • Assembly each sandwich by stacking the ingredients: Toasted bread, meat, a good handful of fries, and top with a generous helping of cheese sauce.
  • NOTE: We don't normally use the toast at the bottom of the sandwich. I feel that the fries add enough carbs to the meal, but the toast is the traditional way of making a horseshoe.
  • I've made this with the nacho cheese sauce and a little less Worcestershire sauce for a different flavor.
  • YUM!
