Grandmas Cheddar Cheese Spaghetti

"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."

  1. 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.
     
  2. This is exactly what I was looking for. This is so delicious, I can't stop eating it. I added about 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, other than that I followed the recipe to a tee. Thank you so much for sharing.
     
  3. My family loved this! It was easy to make and a great way to use up some tomato juice I had. Next time I think I'll cut back the tomato juice and cheese just a bit. Thanks so much!
     
  4. I've had this recipe saved for a while and every time I've thought about making I've talked myself out of it because it looks too simple and I imagine it tasting like spaghetti O's. I was so wrong, it turned out delicious! Quick, easy and tasty, my favorite type of recipe. Next time I may top it with some fresh chopped basil, the recipe doesn't need it, but we love fresh herbs and it seems like a natural fit. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  5. Beware of a copycat recipe on the internet which calls for cubed tomatoes. The original calls for tomato juice only.

  1. 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!
