Add buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined and a dough forms.
Add the diced bacon, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onions to the dough. Fold in with a silicone spatula into the dough then transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan.
Bake the loaf for about 40 minutes then top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake about another 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove from the pan and allow the bread to finish cooling, then slice and enjoy.
