Preparation facts

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1- 1/2 lbs ground beef

4 slices sweet onion (1/2-inch)

Vegetable oil

8 slices Swiss process cheese food

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbs Dijon-style mustard

4 crusty rolls, split, toasted

Directions

Lightly shape ground beef into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Brush onion with oil. Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange onion around patties. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until patties are not pink in center and juices show no pink color and onions are tender, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper after turning. About 1 minute before patties are done, top each with 2 cheese slices.

Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread on top halves of rolls. Serve burgers and onion in rolls with lettuce and tomato.
