Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 ¼ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups finely chopped broccoli
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Stir in milk and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in mustard, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Add 2 cups Cheddar cheese, broccoli, and pumpkin puree, stirring until cheese is completely melted. Drain macaroni and stir in until well coated. Pour macaroni and cheese into a baking dish. Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

This recipe is a fail. The sauce was watery and the pasta was overcooked.

I wouldn't make this recipe again. It was too much work and the end result wasn't worth it.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the flavor was good.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The pumpkin flavor was very subtle and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the dish. I would definitely make this again.

This was an excellent recipe! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and I added a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce. It turned out perfect!

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! Everyone loved the creamy, cheesy sauce and the pumpkin flavor was a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This pumpkin macaroni and cheese is a delicious and easy fall dish! The pumpkin adds a creamy texture and a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the sharp cheddar cheese. I also love the addition of bacon, which gives the dish a smoky and savor
