Grandmas Cheddar Cheese Spaghetti

Andre!'s Note:

My Grandmother made this for us some 50 years ago. I have found it to be a great kid pleaser, even the fussy ones! It is affordable and simple to make. I like it better reheated for two minutes in the microwave and it freezes well.

my family loves this. made this twice so far. second time made with velveeta because that is all i had in the fridge. it does taste better with cheddar, but velveeta was almost as good. will be making this again and again and again. thanks for sharing.

I was in the mood for something different to do with spaghetti and this was just the thing! This was so easy to put together and the kids loved it! I added some premade thawed meatballs to make a complete meal. I would add some garlic to this next time and use vegetable juice in place of plain tomato juice. Thanx for posting this recipe!
