Savory Chocolate Mac and Cheese

This is a delightfully rich dish that blends the earthy and savory flavors of pumpkin with the chocolate's sweet and bitter notes. The red onions add a mild spicy note, while the bacon bits add a smoky, salty flavor.

1. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, drain it, and let it cool.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, chocolate, eggs, and cheese until they are well-blended.
3. Stir in the cooled macaroni to the mixture, along with the red onions.
4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, and sprinkle cooked bacon bits on top.
5. Bake the mixture in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!
