Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 4-ounce can canned diced green chiles, drained
- 12 ounces beer (lager or ale recommended)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or lightly coat with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and drained green chiles, making sure they are coated in the flour mixture.
Pour in the beer and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter to create a golden, crisp crust as it bakes.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
