Ultimate Cannabis Mac and Cheese Recipe

Last updated: September 2026

I’m that person, who can never say no to mac & cheese! It’s literally the first thing I check to see on a menu, wherever I go out to eat. It’s also the food I order most frequently, whenever I visit a restaurant. This soul-satisfying food is so cheesy, delicious, and a perfect, evening snack.

It’s very easy to make at home, and can be customized, according to your taste. You can add different spices & cheeses, add a layer of tomatoes as topping, or season it with breadcrumbs, depending on your mood & availability of ingredients.

I make my cannabis mac & cheese, using cheddar & Gruyere cheese, and top it with breadcrumbs. Use whatever cheeses you love, and top it with whatever you so desire. If you like your food spicy, adding salsa & jalapeno topping is a great idea.

How long does the THC take to kick in?

Expect 30 to 90 minutes for infused foods, peaking around hours 2 to 3. Wait a full 2 hours before having more: edibles hit later and last longer than smoking.

How should I store leftovers?

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze portions for later. Label them clearly and keep them away from kids.

Can I adjust the strength?

Yes: the dose depends entirely on the THC content of your infusion. Start with less infusion, taste-test a small serving, and scale from there.

Can I buy this ready-made instead?

Yes: our edibles category includes precisely dosed cannabis foods like this one, third-party tested and shipped across Canada. Browse our ready-made cannabis edibles for precisely dosed options, shipped Canada Post Xpress.
