Homemade Garlic Bread is one of my favorites to make when we have pasta for dinner. My boys love garlic bread and they love this homemade recipe better than store bought. It is also quite easy to prepare and make with simple ingredients. No preservatives and you can even take it a step further and make your own bread if you desire. I usually pick mine up from the bakery in Kroger Marketplace that they bake fresh daily.
All of the other ingredients used in this Homemade Garlic Bread recipe I have on hand at home in my kitchen. So it's very easy for me to make this delicious bread for dinner when serving pasta. My boys love when I serve Chicken Pasta with this scrumptious garlic bread.

Could I make a bunch of this and freeze it, do you think? You suggest it with a lot of the freezer meal recipes and it'd be awesome to be able to just pull it out of the freezer in the morning and thaw for the day before baking if that's not going to ruin it. I know you can buy frozen garlic bread, but I'd much rather make it myself!

Yes, you can make it and freeze it! I am going to do the same!
