Corned Beef Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Guinness Caramelized Onions

When I made the Guinness caramelized onions for the onion cheddar quiche I could not
help but snack on a few of them before adding them to the quiche and I was immediately entranced by them! While I was slowly caramelizing the onions, images were flying through my head with all of the different ways that I could use them and I wanted to try them all! I was finding it difficult to decide exactly which dish to make when I had the idea of using them in a grilled cheese sandwich and I was sold!
