- When the burgers have about 5 minutes left put the onions on the grill & brush them with the glaze. Grill until they are soft.
- Brush both the burgers & onions with glaze once more before serving.
- Serve the burgers on rolls topped with the mayonnaise & lettuce. The onions can be eaten on the side or on the burgers.
