Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occaisionally until the onions are carmelized. Remove from the grill and set aside. To make the patties, combine the ground chuck. worcestshire sauce, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well and divide into 6 equal portions and shape to form patties. When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil, and place the patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Once the patties have been turned, place the mango slice on the grill rack and cook, turning once, 2-3 minutes per side. Once the mango slices are cooked remove from the grill and cover to keep warm. During the final minutes of grilling the patties, place a slice of proscutto on each patty, folding in half in order to avoid direct contact with the grill rack.
