Instructions
For the corned beef grilled cheese sandwich
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sprinkle with sugar and black pepper. Cook until soft and golden, stirring occasionally, about 10-15 minutes.
Add beer and continue cooking about 8-10 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Gently mix in the corned beef slices.
Heat a griddle or another large skillet over medium heat.
Butter one side of all 8 slices bread. Place 4 slices, butter side down, on the hot griddle.
Layer the 4 slices of bread with cheese, corned beef and onion mixture, and additional cheese. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, butter side up.
Grill the sandwiches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping carefully halfway through grilling. Serve immediately.
Notes
Jarlsberg cheese is a mild semi-soft cheese with mellow, nutty flavor. A perfect alternative for those who enjoy Swiss on sandwiches.
