Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk it all together until it’s well mixed and fluffy.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Fold in the crumbled sausage, diced bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives if you’re using them.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice it up and enjoy it warm.
