Instructions

Prepare barbecue grill with cover to medium-high heat and brush grill rack with oil or spray with cooking spray. Mix antipasto-mayo ingredients together; cover and set aside.

Place 2 sheets (about 9×12-inches) of heavy duty foil on a flat surface. On one, spread the butter in the middle, place cut onions on top of the butter; salt and pepper to taste. Double fold foil on top and ends to seal well. Place on grill and cook for 30 minutes, turning once or twice.

Place asparagus in middle of second sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and garlic. Seal packet as for onions. Place on grill about 10 minutes before meat is done. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once. Keep warm on edge of grill. Season with salt and pepper when the packet is opened.

Mix all burger ingredients together in a large bowl. Place in a 9-inch cake pan to shape. Turn meat mixture onto the prepared grill. Cook for about 7 minutes, then turn. (To turn, use 2 rimless baking sheets. Using one baking sheet as a pusher, slide burger onto second sheet. Then hold burger between baking sheets; invert sheets to flip burger.) Slide burger back onto grill; cooked side up; overlap cheese on top. Cook for 5-7 minutes more for medium-rare. Using a long serrated knife, cut 1/3 of the bread off horizontally. Discard the top half. Toast bread on grill until golden brown. Place on a platter, cut side up. Spread with the antipasto-mayo, then top with the onions. Place burger on top of the onions. Arrange asparagus on top of cheese. Sprinkle with parsley and ancho chili powder. Cut into 6 wedges.
