The horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich from Springfield, Illinois, USA. It consists of thick toast (often Texas toast), a hamburger patty, fries, and a "secret" cheese sauce. Sometimes hams or other meats are replaced with hamburgers, and sometimes more than one type of meat is used. French fries can also be replaced with tater tots, or other fries.
Although cheese sauce varies by chef, it generally comes from Welsh rarebit. Common ingredients include eggs, beer, butter, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.
A small portion, with one slice of bread and one serving of meat, is called a horse shoe.
A horseshoe breakfast is also available, replacing hamburgers and fries with sausage or bacon and fries. Cheese sauce can also be replaced with a milk sauce.
Ross' Restaurant in Bettendorf, Iowa is known for a similar dish called Magic Mountain. Instead of hamburger buns, sandwiches contain steamed meat. It has been enjoyed by politicians and celebrities including Barack Obama and Bette Midler.
The sandwich was made in late 1920 by chef Joe Schweska at the Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois, located on the corner of Sixth and Capitol (now an office building). The Leland Hotel, the premier hotel in Springfield, was built in 1867, and has accommodated hundreds of prominent Americans. The structure is five levels and contains 235 rooms.
In 2015 Thomas 'Breakfast Battle, hosted by Thomas' Breads, Mike Murphy won a $ 25,000 prize for his horse shoe. The contest featuring chefs from all over the country combines local flavor with Thomas English muffins. Horseshoe Murphy includes eggs, bacon, cheese sauce, sausage gravy and fries on top of English muffins. She prepares a meal on Fox & amp; Friends to promote the contest.
