Abrams Battle Tank Beer Bread

You can purchase packaged mixes for desserts,  soups appetizers, and other foods.  The products are  tasty and simple.   But needless to say,  it's all about convenience.  A  $7  teeny tiny   pinch  of herbs and spices  to make  one tasty cheeseball  only has about 25 cents worth of  ingredients  in it.


My friend Rita  brought  this bread to work  often when we had carry-in  meals or all-day grazing  at the US Army Tank Plant  (thus the name), and it always disappeared in a flash. It's great  toasted, dripping with butter, or cold, with cream cheese and jelly,  and  makes a good sandwich too.    Ready for the recipe?  Don't blink!  I am not exaggerating when I say there's nothing to it:

Mix 3c. self-rising flour with 1 can beer at room temperature  & 3 Tb sugar.  Put in a greased or sprayed loaf pan and bake  in a preheated  375 oven  for about 1 hour.  For other versions, add herbs, or cheese.  Chives and  cheddar beer bread is a delight.
