Caramelize the onions
In a large saute pan set over medium-high heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onions and salt and cook until the onions just start to release their moisture, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium (medium-low if darkening too quickly) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, 15-20 minutes.

Make the sauce
While the onions are cooking, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside for the flavors to meld.

2 tablespoons ketchup
5 teaspoons sweet relish
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Combine water and baking soda
In a small bowl, combine the water and the baking soda. Set aside.
1 tablespoon water
⅛ teaspoon baking soda

Finish the onions
Once the onions begin to appear dry and golden brown, add the baking soda-water mixture to the pan and stir. Continue cooking until the water evaporates and the onions start sizzling again, about 3 minutes. The onions should be caramelized and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Roast the patty
Transfer the June Pan to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Roast 15 minutes, until the patty is browned and cooked through. June will notify you when the patty is ready.
Start assembling the sliders
When you have about 5 minutes cook time left on the patty, place the top half of the dinner roll slab facedown on the second June Pan or rectangular roasting pan. Spread about half the sauce on the slab, then lay the cheese slices over the sauce, overlapping as necessary. Spread the caramelized onions over the cheese.
