Beer Bread Recipe For One

This soft and tender Sausage and Cheese Beer Bread has a buttery, crispy crust and is filled with flavorful cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese. It’s a mini beer bread which is full of flavor and ready in minutes!

Beer bread is one of the easiest breads to make and of all the bread recipes, it’s one of my favorites.

I’ve been making this sausage and cheese beer bread for years and when my kids were younger and living at home, a large loaf would be devoured in minutes.

What Is Beer Bread?

Beer bread is one of the simplest quick breads you can make.

Beer bread is a little more dense than other breads and its flavor is a little dependent on how flavorful the beer you use is.

I like using a darker amber beer in my beer bread recipes but a lighter beer will also work well.

You don’t actually taste the beer in the bread but you will notice a nice, almost sourdough-type flavor.

Mini Beer Bread

I’ve taken my large loaf sausage and cheese beer bread recipe and scaled down the ingredients so that you will have a small mini loaf. Enough for one or two servings.

The ingredients in this bread recipe can be mixed together in about 5 minutes in one bowl, no kneading or waiting for the bread to rise.

You don’t even need a bread machine to make it.

What To Do With The Leftover Beer

Well, you could always pour the rest of the beer into a cold glass and drink it but if you don’t want to do that, that’s okay.

Here are a few suggestions for using up the rest of the beer…

• Make another loaf of beer bread.
• In a recipe, substitute the beer for beef or chicken broth.
• Make a beef marinade by mixing together chopped onions and garlic, salt, pepper, brown sugar (optional), and beer.
• Make a Lemon Shandy – mix together lemonade and beer, adding more of whichever you prefer.

What To Serve With Beer Bread

Soups, Stews, and Chili

• Minestrone Soup For One
• French Onion Soup For One
• Curried Butternut Squash Soup For One
• Broccoli Cheddar Soup For One
• Chicken Soup Soup For One
• Beef Stew For One
• Chicken Chili For One

For this quick and easy beer bread recipe, I use a ramekin, mini loaf pan or baking dish that holds about 1-cup. For best results, use a dish of similar size.
