I used to cook up a can of spaghetti for my parents and brother when I was a
kid. I'd brown a pound of hamburger and then dump a can on that. Sometimes I
layer on some American cheese if we had any. Somehow, back in the 60s, that
was enough for a family of 4. Everybody ate small portions in those days.

Oddly enough, my wife says that canned spaghetti was a dish that her Korean
step-mom used to make frequently.

I used the recipe for spaghetti from the Betty Crocker Boys and Girls
Cookbook. It had ground beef in it. I also made skillet spaghetti which
wasn't quite as good. It was all cooked in a skillet and the spaghetti was
broken in thirds. However, in those days my mom didn't really have a nice
pot that was suitable for cooking spaghetti so for that reason the skillet
one was a heck of a lot easier.
