QUICK AND EASY ONION BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a cheese grater with small holes, grate the two portions of sharp cheddar cheese.
• In a large bowl combine together the flour, baking powder, onion soup mix, basil, garlic powder, and sugar; stir in the grated cheese and chopped green onion.
• Gradually pour in the beer, stirring with a fork until just blended and beer is incorporated.
• Grease the bottom of a 9"x5" loaf pan and spread the dough in the pan.
• Chop the additional green onion and sprinkle evenly over the surface of bread dough for topping (you can substitute chopped thinly sliced yellow onion for this, if you like).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the middle.
• Remove bread from oven; combine the Parmesan and grated cheddar, and sprinkle it over the top of the still-hot loaf.
• Let the bread stand in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn out and let cool for another 5 or so minutes before slicing and/or serving.
• You can make this bread ahead of time- if you're going to serve it later, wrap it in foil and at the time of serving re-heat it in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes; it's really very tasty the day after it's prepared, so you might consider making it a day ahead of when you want to serve it.
