WORLD FAMOUS HORSESHOE SANDWICH
"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 SANDWICHES
Hearty meat and potato lovers in your family will be happy to indulge in the Horseshoe Sandwich. Our recipe used the classic ham steak, but hamburger patties are a popular alternative. Even though the sandwich is topped with a homemade cheese sauce, the blue plate special only takes 30 minutes to make.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

HORSESHOE SANDWICH
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.

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!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and the almonds. Process until finely ground. Add flour and salt, and pulse to combine.
- Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod. Add seeds to the flour mixture. (Reserve bean for the dusting sugar.) Add butter a few pieces at a time. Quickly pulse to combine. Do not overprocess. The mixture should resemble coarse meal.
- Place the reserved vanilla bean on the prepared baking sheet, and let dry out in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Remove dough to a clean work surface. Blend dough by pushing it away from you with the heel of your hand. Gather it up with a bench scraper, and continue process until dough will peel easily from the work surface in one piece.
- Divide dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cylinder 5/8 inch in diameter and about 22 inches long. Cut each log into pieces about 3 inches long. Curve each piece into a horseshoe, and place on the prepared baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While cookies are baking, cut reserved dried vanilla bean into small pieces. Place the remaining cup confectioners' sugar in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until well mixed, about 1 minute. Sift sugar into a small mixing bowl to remove any large pieces of the vanilla bean.
- Remove cookies to a rack to cool. After cookies have cooled a little, about 5 minutes, gently toss warm cookies in vanilla sugar to coat. Remove to rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust again with remaining vanilla sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
