These ARE messy, as stated, but so delicious! Loved the caraway in the onions. Kind of like a patty melt with sausage instead of hamburger. I adapted this for use with my Foreman Grilleration machine. I grilled the sausages and then used the machine as a panini maker instead of using the skillet. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
