Return To The Crafty Granny's Family Cookbook

When Laura was about 3 years old, she was visiting Grandma Nabors who made her some quick spaghetti to feed her quick. A few weeks later, at her other Grandma's she asked for "Her Spaghetti". Her grandmama told her she couldn't make it, as she didn't have the recipe. Laura promptly went to the phone & called her Grandma, long distance, to get "her" spaghetti recipe, thus...

Little Laura's Spaghetti

1 1/2 pound ground beef
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
5 cups hot water
8 ounce spaghetti
2 small cans tomato sauce
1 onion, chopped
Salt & pepper
4 ounce grated cheddar cheese

Brown onion in oil till clear, add beef & brown. Drain & add sauce & garlic powder. Add hot water and stir. Add salt, pepper & spaghetti. Cook until spaghetti is almost tender. Put in cheese & finish cooking, stirring almost constantly to prevent scorching. Little Laura is in college now, and we sure are proud, but this is still "her spaghetti" and her favorite!
