    Any use for old beer, more than 1yr old?
    I have almost a case in my basement. My DH used to drink a can every evening and he died more than a year ago. No one in my family drinks it so there it sits. Any ideas? Siol Il

    Ingredients:
    4 chicken breast (I sometimes cut into bite size nuggets)

    Season salt
    Salt & pepper
    Chicken seasoning plus, optional
    1 16 oz. diced tomatoes

    Instructions:

    BEER BREAD:

    Serves: 1 large loaf or 2 small loaf
    Source: Jan
    Effort: easy. I don’t like beer, but I love this bread

    INGREDIENTS:
    3 cups plain flour
    3 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. salt
    1 12-oz. can beer, (not lite beer)
    1/2 cup grated mild cheddar cheese

    INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and beer in a large bowl and stir until well combined, spread in one large loaf pan or two 3 x 5 inch tins coated with butter spray. Sprinkle top with grated cheese. Bake the large loaf for 50 - 60 minutes and the small loaves 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Tip out and cool on wire rack. This bread keeps well and makes excellent toast. Try different types of beer. (My bread didn't take as long as the recipe suggested on baking time, so you might want to check it.)

    I have found that college kids will gladly take it. I just insist that the person who takes it is of the legal drinking age.
