Leftover bread makes a GREAT grilled cheese sandwich to go with your homemade tomato soup. How decadent is that?

Blue Ribbon Recipe

With just a few extra ingredients turn a basic beer bread recipe into something special. The bits of bacon and white cheddar cheese throughout the loaf are a nice savory flavor combination. But then pepper the loaf with sun-dried tomatoes and they're little pops of sweetness. A slice will be delicious with soup, chili, or beef stew.
