Mac n' Trees

 

Its the end of the semester, year and with that comes pot lucks for all types of reasons. My two go-to dishes was mac-n-trees and Pinapple Fizz. My reciepe for Mac'n Trees is basically the same, except I now use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin and I also use three cheeses. I made this for the Mary Mitchell Family & Youth Center Thanksgiving Dinner. 

I usually blanch the brocolli before baking it with the Mac'n cheese. I will try to bake the broccoli raw... and see if it comes out crunch. Why the change? If you bring this into work and the party starts 4 hours later, once your co-workers rebake this the broccoli gets mush. I like crunchy broccoli.
