Open-faced Chili Burgers

Tonight, you’ll serve a refreshing meal utilizing leftover veggie chili. All hail! Behold the open-faced Chili Burger! 

“Open-faced” is just a nice way to enjoy any sandwich that might be too difficult to pick up. In this case, the sandwich is impossible to pick up so you’ll welcome a knife and fork.
It’s actually an old-fashioned way of serving a sandwich. The French call this stylish sandwich a tartine and often serve it for breakfast. This is not breakfast, however!

Add a crisp green salad to the mix, and you’ve got a refreshing meal.
