When only the creamiest, cheesiest of meals will do, we look to comfort foods like the quintessential mac and cheese to satiate our cravings. This Medicated Mac and Cheese recipe by Keena Moffett of Creative Maven elevates this comfort dish with the addition of cannabis infused butter to the mix.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

DIRECTIONS

- In a separate saucepan, melt the cannabis butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour, mustard powder, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, beating out any lumps.

- Drain noodles, pour into casserole dish and stir them with beaten eggs.
