• Heat a grill to medium-high direct heat and lightly oil the grates using a paper towel soaked in canola oil or nonstick grilling cooking spray.
• Spread a 16-inch-long piece of nonstick aluminum foil on a cutting board (or mist a piece of regular aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray). Top with the onions, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon water. Bring two sides of the foil together, fold over twice to create a seal and then seal the remaining two ends. Put on the grill and cook for 12 minutes, flipping once. The onions should be tender with only a bit of charring. Carefully open the top of the foil to let all the steam out and continue to cook the onions, tossing, until browned and lightly charred, 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
• While the onions cook, mix the ketchup and mustard together in a small bowl. Season with pepper and set aside.
• Lightly toast the English muffins on the grill and place one top and bottom on each of 4 plates. Spread some of the ketchup sauce on the bottom half of each muffin and top with a slice of tomato.

Cook until the edges of the burgers are browning, 3 to 5 minutes, and then flip. Brush the burgers with the remaining ketchup sauce and evenly top with the shredded cheese. Cover the burgers with the grill lid or a large heatproof bowl and continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the burgers are still a bit pink on the inside, about 3 minutes more.

• 1. Preheat a grill over high heat. Divide the meat into four 6-ounce balls. Press 4 small cubes of cheese into the center of each ball and flatten into a 1/2-inch-thick patty about 4 inches in diameter, making sure the cheese stays wrapped in the meat. Sprinkle both sides of the patties evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Wrap each burger in a piece of nonstick aluminum foil, twisting any excess foil at each end so the burger is wrapped in a single layer of foil only. Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire together in a small bowl.
• 2. Grill the burgers for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and carefully open up the foil packets, allowing the steam to escape. Place the opened foil packets back on the grill, add a spoonful of sauce to the top of each patty and continue to cook until the patty is cooked to at least medium to allow the cheese inside to fully melt, another 4 to 6 minutes.
