Bisquick Beer Bread Using Negra Modelo (Recipe)

In a recent KonMari decluttering of my pantry shelf I discovered six Negra Modelo beers Himself had bought after trying one... but never drank them.  These were some OLD beers... old I'm telling you!  My first plans for them were to kill slugs in our garden this coming summer.

The other evening Himself and I were hungry for a savory treat.  After looking at those beers, we thought 'why not?' and found a recipe for beer bread using Bisquick~ which we had just enough of.  It was meant to be!

Himself (being the baker of the family) had it mixed up in no time.  We weren't sure how it would turn out with the geriatric beer but when the scent of the baking bread filled the house we were so optimistic!  

It smelled so good we didn't let it cool completely.  In our opinion, the dark beer made it even better.
