We are having a great winter. For the most party it has been pretty mild. We have had a little ice but it was not anything that we could not handle. Hubby and I have been able to continue walking most of the winter which is terrific because somewhere along the line we developed a loathing to our elliptical. These walks we go on have become quite the adventure story. We call ourselves Mr. & Mrs Kravitz! Do you remember the nosy Gladys Kravitz from the television series Bewitched? Now put a little crazy wild run away with it imagination on Mrs Kravitz and you have us. I will get into a few more posts down the line as I have to figure out a way to tell you about our wild half cocked stories while protecting my neighbors! LOL We may even have some kind of give away for the person that can answer the Mrs. Kravitz quiz.
Well after the walk yesterday I decided that we had so much exercise that I would whip up a delectable savory loaf of beer bread. Have you ever tried beer bread? It is so divine. It is just simply amazing and so darn easy. There isn’t any yeast involved and the bread is always so moist. Bacon Jalapeno Cheddar Beer Bread has pieces of crispy smoked bacon, flavorful mildly spicy jalapenos, and a generous portion of sharp cheddar all wrapped up in a moist loaf that is really hard to stop eating!

This tasty Bacon Jalapeno Cheddar Beer Bread can be whipped up in no time at all. Prep time on it is only about 15 minutes. This bread is wonderful for breakfast sandwiches, burgers and leftover meatloaf. It is a little piece of heaven. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator. Slice off what you want and heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds at 60% power. Tastes just like it did when you took out of the oven.
Do not be intimidated by the jalapeno peppers. They are perfect in this loaf and complement all the other flavors perfectly. If you like the heat add a couple more tablespoons! Put this treat and on the list for this coming week! You will not be disappointed. I prepared our egg over easy sandwiches on it this morning and they were so scrumptious!

Made this this weekend and it is great. I will make again for salads and soups. I had a slice
toasted with an egg on for breakfast and it was wonderful.
My hubby adores that bread. So glad that you liked it. We eat eggs over easy on it too!!
I made this over the weekend, as it rose and baked in the loaf pan the butter went all over the bottom of my oven. So smoky!! Next time will put a cookie sheet under the pan. Delicious anyway 🙂
So sorry to hear that. I have not had any trouble with that loaf doing that but I will certainly post the comment so people can place a cookie sheet or piece of aluminum foil under it.
Could I use the pan that has mini meatloaf opening For individual servings ? Or muffin tin
Yes you could use either one of those. The cooking time would decrease. I would probably check them after 35 minutes although it may take longer.
