ccc'swife Butternut squash mac and cheese review.

FinallyKrisB · August 2011

Since you asked for the recipe for the butternut squash mac and cheese I thought I would give you a review.

It was great! I did not tell DH that it had squash in it. After a few bites he was raving about how good it was so I broke the news to him. It's a little sweeter that regular mac and cheese and the texture is a little different (sauce not as creamy) but the taste is great.

And the nutritional info is awesome. 390 calories for 1/8th of the recipe. That's a HUGE (meal sized) serving and there's no way we ate that much as a side.

YUM YUM YUM!!!! I really want to try this for Char b/c she's a mac and cheese fiend (what 3.5 year old isn't?), so this would be a good way to get some veggies in there for her.

Looks delish! Thanks for the review

I may have to give this a try! A few years ago I tried a butternut M&C recipe that was NOT good, but since this one the Kris B seal of approval, it may be worth trying!

I agree. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I think the combination of cheeses is what makes it so good. You could but gruyere, pecorino romano, and parmigiano reggiano on anything and make it mighty tasty.

also, if you put it in muffin tins (or the cupcake & half bigger sized ones), you can freeze it after baking. Once they are frozen, pop them out of the tins, put them in a plastic bag and keep in the freezer. They're easy to defrost and make GREAT lunches for little ones (and big ones too)
