Select the "White Bread" setting on your bread machine and press "Start."

Wait for the machine to beep, signaling the end of the first knead cycle.

Quickly add the drained green chilies and the cubed sharp cheddar cheese into the dough through the machine's opening.

Once baking is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and brush the warm crust with melted butter or margarine.

Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
