Stringy Cheese Loaf

Hey Jude's Note:

Delicious bread for your next BBQ! Easy to prepare and just throw it on the grill with your ribs, chicken, etc. Experiment with the cheese...I've done this with a pesto-jack I got at the farmer's market and it was great. Recipe is from an old Betty Crocker Barbecue cookbook.

I picked this recipe to make for the Photo Forum's July BBQ event. I made the cheese mixture the day before I planned to grill. This is very simple and so tasty. The only problem I had was getting the bread slices apart after grilling, as the cheese melts and sticks the slices together, but it didn't affect the recipe. Thanks Hey Jude for posting a yummy bread recipe!!!

This is great bread for grilling. I subbed some onion and chive cream cheese and omitted the green onions. I also used fresh garlic instead of the garlic salt. Mmmm...the flavor was great! Hubby loved it and has claimed the leftovers for a later snack. LOL

Oh, my. I could have this by itself for dinner! Could you hear the 'yummy groans' happening here tonight? We didn't light the grill, so I put it in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes, opening the foil for the last 5 minutes.
