This sandwich originated in Springfield IL and has been bringing people to the area to try it for well over 50 years. I've posted another sauce variation that includes beer and a couple additional seasonings. I hope to try both versions soon and I will let you know the results!

How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread french fries out on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, divide the ground beef into four equal parts and form into patties. Season with a little salt and pepper. Fry the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat until well done, about 4 minutes per side.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook while stirring constantly for 4 minutes to cook out the flavor of raw flour. Gradually whisk in the cream or half-and-half, so that no lumps form. Stir in the chicken base. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat and add the cheese; stir until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.
- Place 2 slices of toasted bread onto 2 dinner plates and top each slice with a hamburger patty. Top each patty with cooked french fries. Pour the cheese sauce on top of everything and serve immediately.
