Remove patties and place on a plate.

In the same griddle, place a slice of rye bread, top with a patty, caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese.

Top with another slice of rye bread and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from griddle and let cool for a minute before slicing in half.

Serve with mustard and pickles on the side.
