The horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich originating in Springfield, Illinois, United States. It consists of thick-sliced toasted bread (often Texas toast), a hamburger patty, French fries, and a "secret" cheese sauce. Sometimes ham or some other meat is substituted for the hamburger, and sometimes more than one type of meat is used. The French fries can also be substituted with tater tots, or other forms of fried potatoes.
