After putting burgers on, brush onion slices with olive oil and grill over medium heat, until soft and carmelized. About the same amount of time as burgers, then set aside on cool side of grill. Oil grill over medium part of heat, add pancetta slices, turning often until crispy, then set aside on cool side of grill.

Toast buns over medium part of grill. Close grill, until cheddar is melted. Assemble—bottom burger bun, meat, tomatoes, top bun. EAT!
