Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the French Fries

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Make the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt shredded cheddar cheese over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. If desired, add a splash of milk to thin the sauce.

  5. 5

    Toast the Texas Toast

    While the patties are cooking, toast the Texas toast in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Horseshoe

    On each slice of Texas toast, place a cooked beef patty, then pile on a generous amount of French fries. Drizzle with cheese sauce and top with bacon bits, green onions, and jalapeños.
