Horseshoe
Christina
"Every time we visit Springfield, Illinois we have to eat one of their famous horseshoes," says kehn. "The cheese sauce is a little different depending on where you stop to eat, seems everyone has their own way of making it. But we love them all. If you only use one slice of bread and one hamburger patty it is called a ponyshoe. This recipe can also be made with chicken tenders in place of the hamburger patties."

Beef Tips and Tots.
Chef John
There's something satisfying about turning a cheap, tough cut of meat into something succulent and delicious. That's beef tips, one of the world's great comfort foods, even moreso when the recipe features tater tots.
"You can give this an upgrade by topping with diced red onion, grated Cheddar cheese, and freshly sliced green onions," says Chef John. "Or you can serve the beef tips over hot mashed potatoes instead of tots, if you like."
