Tastefully Simple vs. Beer Bread - What's the Verdict?

[melissasutkus]

I have not had our Beer Bread, and a lot of people keep asking me how it compares to Tastefully Simple... Do you guys like it?

 

[babywings76]

I love it just as much!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

It's the same thing. Only ours is less expensive.

 

[melissasutkus]

Thanks!!!!

I can't really tell that much of a difference ~ they are both really good in my opinion!

 

[chefpenny99]

In my opinion ours is better. To me Tastefully Simple's is too moist.

I bought some Tastefully Simple and made it side-by-side with ours. I couldn't really tell any difference. I'm sure there are people who would prefer one over the other, but I can honestly say I can't tell a difference.

 

[melissasutkus]

Thanks for all of the responses!

haha.. I actually am not a fan of TS's but I have never had ours. I bake EVERYTHING from scratch, so it tastes artificial to me.. I am going to order PC's to try soon though!

And seriously - there is NO easier recipe than Beer Bread. I've only had it from a mix at shows. I don't buy it. It's 3 ingredients. Self Rising Flour, Beer, and Butter. That's it. Can't imagine paying $9 for the flour.

I have never tried TS's but think ours is pretty good. But I'm a dissenter too and make my beer bread from scratch.

I've thought about trying it, but can't keep the beer in the house long enough!

And actually, the butter just goes on top to give you a butter, crispy crust. you don't even have to use the butter if you don't want to. I do, however, put a couple tablespoons of sugar in my beer bread. (-;

 

[Mystik]

The recipe I have calls for 1/2 cup of sugar and it always seems sweet to me, I just thought it was supposed to be that way. I'm going to try it without sugar next time and see how it is.
