Horseshoe Sandwich

In the mood for some yummy regional comfort food. Try a horseshoe sandwich. An open-faced sandwich piled high with yummy goodness and easily tailored to your favorite things.
What you will need:


  • -Fries- crinkle cut are best
  • your choice of meat (i used ground beef this time but roast beef is amazing as well)
  • Texas Toast
  • Cheese sauce (recipe follows)
Layer : toast, meat, fries, cheese sauce.  Enter the yummy horseshoe!

Cheese Sauce: ( tweak the cheese sauce to your liking and make it your own secret recipe!)

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 8 tablespoons of flour
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • about 3 cups of milk
  • 1/2-1 cup beer ( I like Guinness)
  • 4 cups of cheese ( sharp cheddar is my fav)
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire 
  • paprika
  • cumin
  • salt
  • pepper ( or chili pepper if you like heat)
Melt the butter over medium heat, then dissolve flour into butter and cook garlic. (some people also like onions) Start with 2.5 cups milk and 1/2 cup of beer and then add as needed. Sauce should be thin, but not watery. To thick and it doesn't absorb into the sandwich. Wisk together well.  Add mustard, Worcestershire, and seasonings and continue to mix well. Add cheese 1/2 cup at a time and stir until dissolved. Pour cheese sauce onto your sandwich and dive into your horseshoe!
