• Plug in your George Foreman and let it heat up.
• In the meantime prep your onions - slice them, toss them in a bowl with the oil, salt and pepper to your taste and brown sugar (again, to your taste if you wish.).
• Note: I find the sugar makes them brown faster.
• When the grill is hot enough, use a pair of tongs and place all the onion rings on the grill.
• Let it grill on one side for about a minute and then start "stirring it" with the pair of tongs.
• You don't need to constantly do so at the beginning, you can leave it to sit for 30 second intervals. After about 5 minutes you want to pay full attention to it though.
• After 10 minutes on the grill it should be soft and caramelized. But if you want it even more so, grill for 5 more minutes, stirring all the time with the tongs.
• Take off grill and serve as desired.
