wellownedbkupso today, coming in from work and having had a horrible day (moving computers and cracking a nail down to the bed... ow), i decided to do some meat-eater comfort food. enter The Horseshoe.
i had some friends who moved up to springfield, il and when we would visit, getting a horseshoe was pretty much mandatory. i've been to d'arcy's and had one of their variations and it was pretty fantastic, so i suggest going there if you get the chance. also, you can't really go wrong with a meal of burger and cheese fries. stack it together and you've got AMAZINGNESS. granted, i forgot that it was an actual burger, and not sloppy joe-esque food. but still. amazing.
so, of course, no pics. my camera's dead, mom's camera's crap and i was pretty much starving.
but, i browned the ground beef (a pound, split between me and my granny), added some salsa and tomato sauce for... um, that sloppy joe feel without the sloppy joe sauce. seasoned with some chili powder. put that over my bread, stacked fries and nacho cheese on top. YUM.
my granny hadn't had one before, so she was impressed. i think she might be easily impressed.
anyway, best comfort food ever, since it took about 20 minutes to get together. multi-tasking and all, i mean. next time (which may be sooner rather than later, as i still have a pound of beef in my fridge), i'll make thin burgers and take a picture.
