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

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.

Tips:

  • When choosing ground beef, select a blend that is at least 80% lean. This will help to ensure that the hamburgers are not greasy.
  • Season the ground beef generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Form the ground beef into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. This will help to ensure that the hamburgers cook evenly.
  • Cook the hamburgers over medium-high heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the hamburgers while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Flip the hamburgers once during cooking. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the hamburgers. The hamburgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the hamburgers immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
  • Add a slice of cheese to the burgers for extra flavor.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings or cole slaw.
