A chili burger (also known as a chili size,[1] or simply size,[2][3] stemming from "hamburger size"[4]) is a type of hamburger. It consists of a hamburger, with the patty topped with chili con carne.[5] It is often served open-faced, and sometimes the chili is served alongside the burger rather than on top. The chili may be served alone, or with cheese, onions, or occasionally tomatoes as garnishes.
