Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 25 minutes

• Serves: 6

• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 4 cups Elbow macaroni, cooked al dente

• 2 tbsp Cannabutter

• 2 tbsp Canna-flour

• 1 tsp Onion powder

• 1 tsp Garlic powder

• 1 cup Canna-milk

• 1/2 lb Velveeta queso cheese, cubed

• 1/2 cup Shredded pepper jack cheese

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Create the Base: In a large pot over medium-low heat, add the cannabutter, canna-flour, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a smooth paste.

2. Add Liquid: While constantly stirring, slowly pour in the canna-milk. Whisk until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer. Immediately reduce the heat to low to prevent scorching.

3. Melt the Cheese: Add the cubed queso cheese and the shredded pepper jack cheese to the pot. Continue to stir until the cheeses have melted completely into a smooth, creamy sauce.

4. Combine: Remove the pot from the heat and add the cooked elbow macaroni. Stir thoroughly until every noodle is completely coated in the cheese sauce.

5. Serve or Bake: Serve immediately while hot and creamy, or transfer to an oven-safe dish, top with additional cannabutter and 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, and bake until golden brown for a crunchy finish to your cannabis edibles.

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: The key to this edibles recipe is the low-and-slow heat when melting the cheese. Rushing this step can cause the cheese sauce to break or become grainy. Maintain that medium-low heat to ensure a velvety texture for your cannabis edibles.

• Al Dente Perfection: Always cook your macaroni one minute less than the package instructions. Because the pasta will soak up some of the cheese sauce and continue to cook once combined, this ensures it doesn't get mushy.

• Storage: This dish reheats beautifully. If the sauce thickens too much in the fridge, simply add a splash of milk to the pan when reheating to bring the creaminess back to life.
