White Cheddar Burgers with Beer Bacon Jam. As the school year starts and we progress further into September, a touch of Fall is definitely in the air.

But, there are still plenty of days to get out and do some great grilling while the weather still allows here in Newfoundland. This weekend is a good opportunity to enjoy one of the best burgers I’ve tasted this summer.

My versions of cheeseburgers often include cheese stuffed inside. While some recipes add grated cheese, I prefer to add small cubes of cheese into the ground beef mixture.

That’s so that it melts in little pockets and oozes out when you bite into the juicy burger.

Delicious, robust aged Canadian white cheddar is what I used in this recipe but you can easily substitute any of your own favourite cheeses.

Beer & Bacon Jam is the real star of  these White Cheddar Burgers.

The crowning glory of this burger is again one of my favourite new condiments that I recently featured on Rock Recipes, Beer and Bacon Jam! The discovery of this amazing addition to grilled chops, steaks, chicken and of course, burgers, has to be my favourite new recipe of the grilling season.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice about a 1/4 inch off the top of a head of garlic, place it on a square of aluminum foil.

Drizzle with a little olive oil add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring all the edges of the aluminum foil over the garlic head and squeeze it together to seal completely.

Roast for about 35 minutes or until the garlic is completely softened. it should turn golden brown and the cloves should be easily removed from the skins.
