Beer, Bacon And Cheddar Bread Recipe
Sometimes gluttony, instead of necessity, is the mother of invention. Case in point, my recipe for beer, bacon and cheddar cheese bread. While I've always loved my recipe for beer bread (I embrace pretty much anything that has alcohol in it), I've always thought it lacked something, but I couldn't put my finger on it. So a few days ago, in a gluttonous stroke of genius, I decided to throw all the bacon and cheddar cheese I had in my fridge into the bread. This quick beer, bacon and cheese bread may be one of easiest recipes I've ever created, but it's easily one of my favorites.
