Ingredients

  • 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 pkg (2 oz) onion soup mix dry
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese grated or shredded, divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  2. Mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda and soup mix. Stir in buttermilk. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  3. Place into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top. Bake.
  4. Oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack until cool. Do not slice while the bread is hot, it will dry it out.

Notes

  • Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling to avoid sogginess.
  • For best melting and flavor, grate or shred your own cheddar cheese rather than using pre-shredded.
