Grill this sweet, but tangy, sandwich for a casual meal.

3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
3/4 cup thinly sliced white or yellow onion
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon country-style Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKESŪ Butter, softened
8 slices rye bread
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
8 (3/4-ounce) slices LAND O LAKESŪ Deli American Cheese

Place red onion, white onion, honey, mustard and vinegar in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and lightly caramelized (8 to 10 minutes).
Butter 1 side of each bread slice; top unbuttered-side of 4 bread slices with 1/4 roast beef, 1 slice cheese and 1/4 onion mixture. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered-sides up.
Heat 10-inch skillet or griddle on medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet. Cook, turning once, until cheese is melted and bread is toasted (2 to 3 minutes).

Makes 4 sandwiches.

TIP: Sandwiches can be grilled using charcoal, gas grill or a Panini maker. Prepare grill; heat until coals are ash white. Place sandwiches on grill. Grill, turning once, until cheese is melted and bread is toasted (about 1 to 2 minutes per side). Watch carefully.
