- Using the hand whisk, mix the cannabutter, flour, and milk together until combined
- Remove from the heat and add the salt and pepper, 4 cups of grated cheddar cheese, and all of the parmesan cheese
- If you are adding any optional ingredients, now is the time to add them as well
Baking the Macaroni and Cheese
- Take your cooked pasta and place into the deep baking dish
- Add the cooked cheese sauce and stir well, top with the last cup of grated cheddar cheese
