Bacon Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Bread

Another Pinterest find.

When I saw this recipe, it reminded me of the Basic Beer Bread Recipe that we make, but slightly different.  I saw in the original blog that buttemilk was subbed for the beer, but I decided we should sub the beer back.  So we did. 

D made it.  There was some issue of it coming out of the pan, so I suggest Parchment Paper or grease the hell out of the pan.  Also it was a little doughy even thought the toothpicks came out clean when testing.  So I suggest 55 minutes. 

The taste was outstanding, and we both had trouble with not eating more than 2 pieces.  We had to quickly wrap up the rest.  I'm guessing it is 16 servings but I think we sliced ours thinner so we will have more. 

Overall, I would have again.
