Hamburger Horseshoe

I realize I've been posting a lot of recipes lately but I've been trying some new things that I really have enjoyed cooking and eating. Last weekend I attempted to make the Hamburger Horseshoe. In case you don't know it is a thick piece of bread topped with hamburger, fries, and tons of cheese sauce. I scoured the internet for a recipe that looked good, modified it a little bit, and cut it way down. It was delicious! Here is my recipe for Hamburger Horseshoes for 2 BIG eaters so this would definitely feed a family with kids.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound 80/20 ground beef (yeah its not good for you but it makes the tastiest burgers)
2 slices Texas bread
French fries (I made fries out of 3 medium sized potatoes but you can buy the frozen kind too)
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cups or 3/4 pound grated white cheddar cheese (I bought a block of aged cheddar from the deli and grated on my own, a little more expensive but makes up for it in taste)
1/4 can beer

Directions:

1. Put fries in the oven to cook while making cheese sauce.

2. Send someone outside to grill burgers or bake in oven along with fries. I always make my patties with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.

3. Melt butter in saucepan on medium low.

4. Whisk in flour until it is darker and bubbly.

5. Add milk and turn up heat until it starts to bubble and thicken.

6. Add salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire, and cheese and stir until it is a nice creamy sauce.

7. Add beer.

8. Pile up bread, burger, fries and top generously with cheese.
