Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut white bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 4 Ground beef patties
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Beer (lager recommended)
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 pound Frozen French fries
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep components warm during assembly.
Step 2
2. Toast the bread slices: Spread softened butter on both sides of the bread slices, then toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Place the toasted slices on a plate and keep them warm in the oven.
Step 3
3. Prepare the ground beef patties: Season the patties with salt and black pepper. Cook them in a preheated skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked. Keep the patties warm in the oven.
Step 4
4. Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the beer and heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the sauce is thickened and creamy. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
Step 5
5. Cook the French fries: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the frozen French fries until crisp and golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt.
Step 6
6. Assemble the Horseshoe Sandwich: Place two slices of toasted bread on a plate. Top each slice with a cooked beef patty. Pour a generous amount of cheese sauce over the patties, ensuring it cascades over the bread. Finish by piling a generous serving of hot, crispy fries on top.
