This is a recipe I came up with as a version of a recipe I remembered always ordering at a family style restaurant that no longer exists in my city...about 20 yrs ago I started making this for my kids...it was a favorite for many kids sleeping over...even now as the kids have become adults with families of their own, both mine and what I call, extended family, I get this recipe requested when they visit. It is one of the simplest recipe's ever to throw together in a short time...I always keep the ingredients stocked in my cupboard...hope you agree.

How To Make semi-homemade chili spaghetti

  • Step 1
    Cook spaghetti by package directions. Empty chili into a pot. Start heating at a medium temp. Add water, mix thoroughly. Simmer till heated through...should be more of a spaghetti sauce thickness. Drain and rinse cooked spaghetti...put into individual bowls. Spoon or ladle sauce over each bowl...top with shredded cheese and onions, if desired.
  • Step 2
    Serve with buttered bread or garlic bread. *if you prefer your sauce thicker or thinner, adjust water amount*
