For the Horse Shoe

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Hamburger

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into burger patties, about 1/4 pound each. Cook the patties on the grill or pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toast

    While the burgers are cooking, drizzle olive oil on both sides of the Texas toast slices. Grill or toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Cook the Fries or Tater Tots

    In a separate pot or fryer, cook the French fries or tater tots according to package instructions until crispy and golden.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Beer Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the 3rd Shift beer cheese sauce until it is melted and creamy, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Horse Shoe

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a serving plate, place two slices of the grilled Texas toast side by side.

  2. 7

    Add the Hamburger

    Place a cooked hamburger patty on top of the Texas toast.

  3. 8

    Add Fries or Tots

    Top the hamburger with a generous serving of French fries or seasoned tater tots.

  4. 9

    Drizzle with Beer Cheese Sauce

    Pour the warm 3rd Shift beer cheese sauce generously over the fries or tots.

  5. 10

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the assembled Horse Shoe hot, garnished with additional toppings if desired (like green onions or jalapeños).
