Steps:
- Prep: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook macaroni until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water once they're done.
- Cook onions and bacon: While the macaroni is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet oder medium heat. Sauté the bacon and onion for a few minutes, until cooked. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook squash: Add the butternut squash to the skillet and sauté over medium heat for one minute. Season with nutmeg,salt and pepper. Add the chicken broth and milk and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer the squash for 10-20 minutes, or until very tender (do not cover with a lid or the milk will boil over).
- Finish sauce: Once squash is cooked, take off the heat and mash with a potato masher or blend with a stick blender. Stir in both cheeses until melted.
- Assemble: Once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 360°F. Stir the onion/bacon mixture and the cooked macaroni into the sauce. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Cut the butter into the breadcrumbs until crumbs form, then sprinkle all over the casserole.
- Bake: Bake the macaroni for 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden around the edges. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Heat a large pot of water over high heat for the pasta; cover.
- In a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or other heavy, stainless skillet), fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon to a towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
- Adjust the heat to medium-low and add the butternut squash and onion to the bacon grease. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash and onion are browned and cooked through. Once cooked, use the back of a wooden spoon to mash up the mixture (it doesn't have to be completely smooth - leave some chunks in for texture).
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook the pasta according to the box directions for al dente pasta (if your box doesn't specify al dente, cook it for 1 to 2 minutes shorter than the time called for - it shouldn't be cooked the whole way through). When the pasta is finished cooking, drain it in a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, until the flour starts to brown a bit and smells nutty, whisking constantly. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the milk. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer.
- Once the sauce comes to a simmer, stir in 6 ounces each of the Gruyere and cheddar cheeses, adding a handful at a time and stirring with a wooden spoon until completely melted before adding the next handful. Season with salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
- Add the cooked, drained pasta, bacon and butternut squash mixture to the sauce. Stir with a wooden spoon until everything is completely combined and evenly distributed. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs.
- Sprinkle the macaroni and cheese with the remaining shredded cheeses. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the cheese.
- Bake until browned and bubbly, about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly oil butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Set butternut squash, cut-side down, on the lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until butternut squash can easily be pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.

- Remove 2 cups hot pasta water to a liquid measure; add bouillon cube and stir to dissolve. Drain pasta.
- Pour 1 cup broth from the liquid measure into a large pot. Scoop roasted butternut squash flesh into the pot and blend with an immersion blender, adding more broth as needed to achieve a light creamy texture.
- Place the pot over medium heat and mix in Cheddar cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is thick. Add drained pasta and mix to combine. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Serve topped with crumbled bacon.
