Corned Beef Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 ½ tablespoons butter
• 2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup dark beer, I used Samuel Adams Black Lager
• 8 ounces deli-sliced corned beef, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 2 cups shredded Jarlsberg or Fontina cheese
• 8 slices marble rye bread or pumpernickel bread
• butter for grilling sandwiches

Steps

1. 1

   Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and sprinkle with sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until soft and golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Add beer and continue cooking until liquid turns slightly syrupy, about 8 to 10 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Mix in the corned beef slices.

3. 3

   On 4 slices of bread, layer the cheese, and corned beef and onion mixture. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.

4. 4

   On a griddle or large pan, melt some butter and grill the sandwiches until lightly browned and crispy on both sides and cheese is melted.
