Green Beer Mac And Cheese
Green Beer Mac And Cheese
The sauce for this mac and cheese, which is naturally colored green from parsley, comes together in minutes in a blender. Beer, though an unusual ingredient, gives a pleasant depth of flavor. And while this would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day, we'd happily eat it any time.Recipe courtesy of The Beeroness.
