  • The Pioneer Woman’s recipe calls for roasted butternut squash, onions, and breadcrumbs.
  • I thought the recipe was very flavorful, although I tasted the onions more than the squash.

In honor of the fall season, I decided to try making one of my favorite autumnal dishes: butternut-squash mac and cheese.

Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman, is well known for her family-friendly comfort food recipes. I decided to try her butternut-squash mac-and-cheese recipe. I anticipated that the simple recipe, which takes less than an hour to make, would be perfect for a fall or winter weeknight dinner after a long day at the office. It also only calls for a few low-cost ingredients, making it a cost-effective option for a crowd-pleasing dish. 

I spent about $43 on the ingredients for the recipe, but I needed to buy some pantry staples you likely already have on hand, like butter, milk, and flour. The recipe is also intended to feed 12 people, which made it come out to less than $4 per serving if you had to buy every ingredient.
