3. the best meat that you can use is shaved steak, available at SweetBay. yellow onions, carmelized. never raw onions and never red onions.
4. the only cheese that you can use is Cheese Whiz. no, you cannot top it with provolone or swiss.
5. there has to be a certain amount of grease. sorry, but low cholesterol is not part of the allure.
6. if you must, you may add some very thick marinara-type sauce on it. just enough to moisten. not ketchup.

Glad to see that you didn't forget the Cheese Whiz. People here in Michigan look at me funny when I tell them that is one of the key ingredients!
