Ok, before we get into the Chili-Cheese Sandwich from the Woman’s Day The Collector’s Cook Book #29 of 1959, let me get a couple things out of the way. First, this is an open-faced sandwich. I know there are those of you who are stalwarts when it comes to sandwiches and I recognize that to you, this is not a sandwich. But here’s the deal, if it is in a sandwich recipe book or cookbook and it has sandwich in the name, Imma do it. That’s just how it is. The next point of order, is the name using the word chili. You might think it has chili as in the delicious, sometimes spicy stew of beef and/or beef and beans (depending on where you live). Nope. You might also think it involves some sort of chili pepper like a jalapeño or serrano. Sorry, again the answer is nope. No, this sandwich features Heinz Chili Sauce which has no chilis in it and is not spicy in the least. Fun fact, the chili sauce was one of Heinz’s earliest products first sold around 1895.
