How to Make Beer Bacon And Cheddar Corn Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup olive oil, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reduced-fat or full-fat), and 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon (optional).
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
