Archaeologists say humans have been enjoying bread and cheese for at least 7,000 years, making these two staples among the oldest man-made foods. When beer was invented a couple of thousand years later (though some argue that beer came first), it’s a safe bet that some early innovator eventually thought of combining these three fab flavors into one culinary masterpiece: cheesy beer bread!

This mini history lesson is simply to introduce you to my favorite recipes for this savory quick bread, made super-easy with Tastefully Simple’s famous Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®!
