How to Make Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add 12 ounces cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for topping), and 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) beer to the well.
- Stir gently with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with an additional 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm, with butter if desired!
