Growing up in central IL, one of our specialties was the Horseshoe: 2 slices of bread topped with a protein (hamburger, ham steak, cubed turkey, etc), topped with a bunch of french fries, and covered in cheese sauce. They even served them in our school cafeteria. I used to wait for Ham Horseshoe day in the cafeteria – it was my favorite school lunch. A version made with one slice of bread and one portion protein is known as a Ponyshoe.
