Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups shredded cheese (I used Cheddar, but a mixture with Monterey Jack and Colby included would be great)
12 ounces beer
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (1/4 c real bacon bits)
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Prepare bread pan by greasing with butter; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a whisk. Make a well in the center; add bacon, about 3/4 of cheese and beer into the well.
Stir mixture with a spoon until combined.
Pour mixture into prepared bread pan; add remaining cheese and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Bake for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drizzle remaining butter over the top.
Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until browned on top and loaf thumps when you tap the top.
Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on wire rack. You can brush with more butter if you choose.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
Sift dry ingredients in to a large bowl. Add bacon, tomatoes and cheese. Break up any clumps with your fingertips. Add the oil and beer and stir just until combined. Pour into a greased 8 inch loaf pan. Smooth the top of loaf and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake in center of oven for 55 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Let cool an additional 10 minutes before slicing. Leftover bread is great toasted or for making grilled cheese sandwiches.
