Soft and full of flavor, serve Cheddar Quick Bread warm with butter for a side dish that will quickly turn into a family favorite.

Quick Bread Tips:

Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese because pre-shredded has a flour/non-stick coating on it which prevents it from melting well in a loaf of bread like this.

Get creative! Add fresh or dried herbs, like parsley, or chives. Switch up cheeses, etc.

Quick breads are (almost) fool proof. Just watch that you don’t overdue the amount of liquids when adding flavors and ingredients.

How to Store Chadder Quick Bread 

Storing leftovers: You can store this bread on the counter or in the fridge, in a well-sealed ziploc bag or airtight container. It will last for up to 4 days. If you keep it on the counter, be sure to keep it cool and out of humidity.

To freeze cheese bread: Allow to cool completely before freezing. You can freeze either the entire loaf or slices so you can grab what you need at any time. Store tightly wrapped to avoid freezer burn and thaw on the counter.

Easy, Cheesy, Cheddar Quick Bread is a soft and delicious fool-proof recipe you need to keep on hand. This extra fast bread recipe is ready to bake in less than 15 minutes.

I love this casserole recipe because it’s about as easy as dinner can be. You guys, I don’t even use a bowl. I mix it right up in the baking dish.

One of the most delicious ways to customize this casserole is with the topping. Here are some to consider:

Ritz Crackers – treat this ingredient the same way you would the cornflakes (other crackers works as well). Chicken broccoli rice casserole with ritz crackers is a favorite around here!

Breadcrumbs – you could use plain or flavored bread crumbs. Mix with 3 tablespoons of butter before sprinkling over the top.

Cornflakes + Shredded Cheese – use any kind of cheese you like.

Potato Chips – use your favorite to add flavor and crunch

Try making this Yum Yum Cake the next time you have a family gathering for a sweet and decadent dessert that is sure to have rave reviews. A delicious cake topped with homemade icing that includes coconut and pecans. 

There are many desserts that I fondly remember from my childhood. Growing up in the south, I’ve attended my share of family gatherings, church functions, and even a family reunion or two. 

VARIATIONS:

• An alternative to making the icing is to omit it and top the finished and cool cake with some cool whip before serving.

• Make a blueberry yum yum by substituting blueberries for pineapple in the same unit of measure.

• Instead of using crushed pineapple, try using peaches or mandarine oranges.

STORAGE:

This cake is best to be enjoyed the same day or the day after it is made. If you have any leftovers, cover the cake with some plastic wrap or place it into an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is fine to allow the cake to sit at room temperature the same day that it is made for a few hours.

Freezing:

The cake portion, without the icing, may be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 1 month. Place it in the refrigerator the night before serving to allow it time to thaw. Remove and allow it time to come to room temperature while making the icing to pour on top.

Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl — This egg roll in a bowl is easy, ready in 15 minutes, full of flavor, has lots of texture, and is healthier than actual egg rolls!

Tips for Making Egg Roll in a Bowl

Coleslaw Mix – If you can’t find coleslaw or a cabbage mix where you live, you can substitute two heaping cups of shredded cabbage and carrots instead.

Wilts Down – Cabbage wilts down quite a bit, so even if it looks like a lot, it’ll dramatically reduce in volume. But of course use your best judgement.

Gluten-Free – To make this egg roll in a bowl recipe gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Try to find a low-sodium version though.

Sodium Sensitive – If you’re sensitive to salt, add a little less soy sauce than the recipe calls for, give it a taste, and then add more as needed.

Can I Use Ground Turkey? 

Yes, either ground turkey or ground pork may be used instead of ground chicken.

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 10 min
