Grilled Sourdough Cheddar Melt

This is your Patti Melt cooked in a mich lighter way then you could find anywhere else. And, believe it or not it is great! We cooked these last night and we loved them! You can serve them with basically anything you would like! We had Roasted Red Potatoes, our favorite, with them.

Makes 4 servings, 1 sandwich

Ingredients
2 teaspoons butter or stick margarine, divided
Cooking spray
2 cups coarsely chopped onion
1 pound ground round
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 (3/4-ounce) slices 2% reduced-fat processed sharp cheddar cheese
8 (1 1/2-ounce) slices sourdough or white bread

Directions
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; cook 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Preheat broiler.

Combine beef, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl. Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/4-inch-thick oval patty. Place the patties on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 4 minutes on each side or until done.

Place 1 cheese slice over each of 4 bread slices; top each slice with 1 patty and 3 tablespoons onion mixture. Cover with the remaining bread slices. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in pan coated with cooking spray over medium heat; add 2 sandwiches to pan. Cook for 4 minutes on each side until browned and cheese melts. Repeat the procedure with 1/2 teaspoon butter and the remaining sandwiches.
