Easy Beer Bread Muffins Recipe

These tasty bread muffins remind me of a little bakery down the street that used to be my go-to lunch spot when I worked in an office. I always enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich with a side of beer bread. If you’re like me and find traditional bread-making a bit intimidating, you have to try these quick Bisquick muffins. Instead of making beer bread dough from scratch, I use a bit of Bisquick mix to keep it simple.

They’re dense and comforting, just like classic beer bread, but in muffin form. This Bisquick Muffin recipe is a fun way to simplify bread baking and still get the perfect texture. Grab some Bisquick mix and whip up a batch of beer bread muffins for your holiday table!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List

It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!

It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.

However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.

In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.

I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
