Macaroni and cheese, in any form, is one of my favorite things. My recipe for the easiest ever macaroni and cheese is one of the most popular recipes on Rachel Cooks. My copycat Panera macaroni and cheese has inspired all sorts of feedback…seems like people either love it or hate it.
Why you’ll love this Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
One Pan: This pumpkin mac and cheese is a one pan recipe. The pasta is cooked right in the broth, pumpkin, beer, and milk for the creamiest, most delicious macaroni and cheese. It’s full of flavor and so easy to make. Whole Wheat: This macaroni and cheese is full of healthy whole grains thanks to whole wheat pasta – but you can definitely use regular pasta if that’s what you prefer! Slightly less cheese: It doesn’t use quite as much cheese as traditional macaroni and cheese since the pumpkin helps provide creaminess and color. I used extra sharp cheddar in this recipe but it would be great with a more mild cheddar as well.
