I've never eaten Kraft's $1.99 boxed Spaghetti Dinner.

Today, we continue with the daily for Stephen Daniel who donated $30 to the vlog. This is a #KraftSpaghettiDinner for $1.99. I've never had it. It looks to have been around a long time, so let's see why it's never left the shelves. #SpaghettiClassics #SeansFirstTimeEating

I've loved this since being a little kid in the 80s, always have 3 or 4 boxes in the pantry, guilty cheat day pleasure. The sauce is amazing and unique flavor with the seasoning packet.

[@KA-vs7nl]

Glad to hear its had your approval since the 80s. Usually recipes change and people drop off

[@olliebear9256]

I have used this Kraft Classic Tangy Italian Spaghetti Diner for decades, but I use it as a base with additions. First, make it with 2 boxes which allows adding 1 can of tomato paste & 2 cans of water for body to the sauce plus one 14.5oz. can of fire roasted tomatoes for looks & taste. I also sauté some onion and brown 1lb. of ground meat for the sauce along with a jar/can of sliced mushrooms. I sometimes also throw in more garlic and dried Italian herb mix. I like a more robust spaghetti than comes in the box, so use 1 lb. of better dried spaghetti. I get Sam’s Warehouse (Members Mark) spaghetti by the case…surprisingly good quality pasta. My family likes meatballs, so I often add some frozen meatballs to the sauce as well. Add some of the water from the boiled pasta to the sauce. Still cheap and will feed at least 4 folks.

[@benitayonosick492]

This my favorite spaghetti! I put mushrooms & eat with garlic Texas toast. Also use hunts tomato paste with basil,garlic, oregano. Some extra Italian seasoning. Also add butter to the sauce. Butter makes everything better. 😊

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I love this stuff. Especially with some of the frozen Texas toast garlic cheese bread. When I make this I use a Hunts can of tomato paste that has garlic and basil in it. Adds to the flavor.

[@tamathawalden2037]

Thank you

[@letsseewhatwehaveheretoday7508]

We had this as a kid.. my mom loved it my dad not so much. But haven’t had it in ten years but I remember loving it and we put hamburger in it!!

[@otlforumadmin]

It was my pleasure! Love the video, I have never tried this myself.

[@RickSmith1020]

It is nostalgia in a box. I couldn't remember eating it until I tasted it and memories flooded in!

[@bobbyclarkston8836]

I grew up on this stuff and to this very DAY, it’s thee best spaghetti sauce I’ve ever had. I use a lot of Parmesan cheese. They don’t give you nearly enough.

[@ry.the.stunner]

I actually really like this stuff. I like it even more after I got a tip from another KZbin channel to make it with ground beef.

[@elizabethrickard3673]

[@kellywright540]

I think the first time my Mom made this for the four of us was maybe in the late sixties or early seventies. It wasn't bad at all. That and it was a one pot meal for her too. She'd cook the noodles in a medium size pot, dump them in the colander, lower the heat on the unit and put the pot back on. She used a can of tomato sauce instead and the tomato paste, just easier to work with. Sometimes she'd throw some ground beef or cut up some Italian sausage and maybe add a can of mushrooms too. Kind of stretched out the sauce a little especially when my brothers got older. I made a box a that like two months ago and when I hit the grocery store, I'll grab a couple more and put them in the pantry. If I'm making spaghetti for more than four people, I go with the jared stuff but if it's just me and one or two other people, a box of this is fine.

[@thomasbowling6198]

It is literally the only spaghetti I eat. And have since my childhood.

[@tericnoah8836]

back in the day my Dad made that stuff all the time, it's all about the sauce, my Dad always added 2 pounds of ground beef, heavy on the meat, mutha!!

[@ronely2881]

[@knockoutking3764]

Interesting, I have never seen this product. It looks pretty good.

[@eblackadder3]

It's easier to use a regular can of tomato sauce instead of the small can of paste with water. I've loved this since I was a kid over 50 years ago. I think it's delicious. It's a very unique combination of spices. It's hard to find in grocery stores now, Walmart seems to be the only place that carries it. Where I live, anyway.

[@KarenKreation]

My family loves this spaghetti. We always called it “hot spaghetti”. Like you it has been at the very least 50 years now.

[@rah62]

It may be "easier" but it's not the same.

[@newbengraham4775]

i looooove kraft box tangy spaghetti.

[@suziwilliams2754]

I have been eating this for over 50 years. I usually throw the noodles away, because I don’t think they’re very good quality and I use my own . I use a large can of crushed tomatoes (not tomato paste added to water) and put two of the tangy sauce packages in there. it is my go to comfort food. I love it!

[@HeySeanEly]

That’s a great tip! Glad you like it so much.

[@AlexanderRivera23]

I finally bought it and I’m so excited to try and cook it!!!

[@HeySeanEly]

Report back and let me know what you think!! Love chatting about food like this.

[@notabot3375]

It's good. While noodles are boiling, use 2 cans of tomato sauce, not paste, no water. Brown some ground beef (1/2 lb to 1lb. Or so). Drain ground beef. Add 2 cans tomato sauce to ground beef. Mix spice pack into ground beef and tomato sauce. Drain noodles. Mix noodles with sauce together right away in the noodle pan. Enjoy.

Growing up as a kid I used to get the Chef Boyardee Spaghetti kits and pizza kits and Lassagna kits and make them for my brother and sister and myself when we were home alone. We loved those kits and they filled you up. This reminds me of those. Dont under estimate what you can do with a bit of pasta and sauce or even just pasta and butter. Especcially for kids.

[@ScorpionHeatseeker]

I have never even seen this! It actually looks decent. I would add more cheese and some meat balls.

[@Michael-s9r5y]

The idea is that it’s a somewhat nutritional meal when you’re hungry and don’t have a lot of money. Which many of us don’t have in the present economy. Pretty good for $3.00. It’s not intended to be five star gourmet.

[@moxiedawn4370]

OMG, it's soooooo good! It's the flavor of nostalgia in the best way. Yeah, adding ground beef will take it up a notch, like a quarter pound. And best of all, I can find that box for a buck at Dollar General a lot of the time.

[@HeySeanEly]

[@1957jmhiser1]

I can't remember if my mom made that or not, I'm sure she rotary did, so I ordered a few boxes. I can't wait to try it. Nuke the noodles in 7 minutes. Viola, dinner. With French bread and Ceasar salad. Oh yeah. Cheap things make my heart sing in this economy.

[@deecohen1383]

I’m going back through your older videos I never tried this but it’s making me remember my best friend from seventh eighth and ninth grade her father was a hard-core Italian and every Sunday he would spend the entire day making his grandmothers sauce and we would steal sips of his bottle of Chivas regal and replace it with water and we would drink his Molson beers and we would steal some of his weed and then we would all have dinner I mean those are some fond memories

[@spaceghost27]

the sauce actually looked good considering it was tomato paste watered down.

[@dantem5228]

Honestly the first thing i ever cooked that was "Half decent" and i thought was real cooking was something similar to this. I was like 10 years old and still have an awesome memory of it. 1 cup (250 ml) of tomato paste. 1.5 cloves of finely chopped garlic. 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano and dried basil leaves and water to desired consistency. Chuck that through some freshly boiled penne. Top with parmesan cheese. Oh man hahaha

[@TheDallasSkeptic]

It's $1.56/box at Walmart. I buy these about a dozen at a time. I use the original sauce instructions which is 2x8oz cans of tomato sauce + 1/2 can of water instead of the current tomato paste instructions. I'll add onions, mushrooms, mozzarella and/or fresh parmesan cheese to make it even better. 😋😋

at $2.98 its cheaper to by generic noodles and a can of generic sauce. and you get more portions. I remember when this was only $.50 a box. Grew up eating it. I get it everynow and again to feel the nostalgia. In stereotypical midwestern fashion i drizzle a bit of ranch on top!

[@MrSnuffdawg]

You have to use tomato sauce not the paste dump the sauce in right after you strain the water and mix the tangy Italian packet after you poor the sauce. Day and night difference.

Best way to open those small cans of paste: use the can opener on both ends, then push the paste out like poop (and retrieve the top and bottom pieces!).

[@HeySeanEly]

Let me know what you think after you try it!!

[@TheRealityfades]

@@HeySeanEly will do! I’m on Long Island where we have some seriously good Italian food, I have never had this. But I’m giving it a try out of curiosity.

[@TheRealityfades]

@@HeySeanEly okay! I made it and here are my thoughts: The tomato sauce, once it thickened and cooked was ok. More edible than I expected it to be, though it still tasted a bit bland even after putting in the seasoning pack. Once I added black pepper and more seasoning (I used pizza seasoning), the sauce a lot more tasty. Like, I couldn’t believe that this came out of a can of only tomato paste. The noodles were by far the worst part. I could tell something was up when I put the pasta in the pot of boiling water and it clouded up instantly. Yes, pasta has some starch that releases, but this was a lot. After the pasta cooked, I mixed the pasta and sauce together instead of plopping the sauce on top. This when I could tell the noodles were gluey. Eating it, the pasta kept getting stuck to my teeth and it wasn’t a nice mouth feel. I bought five boxes so my plan is to just replace the pasta that comes in a box with the pasta I have on hand (gnocchi, ziti etc) and I paid maybe $2 total between the box ($1.59) and the tomato paste. I think I was most surprised about how much I ended up liking the sauce. I don’t eat enough sauce to go get jars of marinara. They always end up going bad before I finish the jar and I don’t buy big jars to begin with. I’ve found you can buy packets of the seasonings on Amazon and stuff and all you do is have to use the tomato paste like the directions call for, without buying the pasta part. It’s actually pretty cheap and the Kroger packets are bigger and serve 5 instead of 4. I give it a 2/5. The pasta is pretty terrible and while I will eat the other half to not waste what I made, going forward I will discard the pasta part. It’s a great concept, esp for busy households but I fail to see how this is on par with the pasta marinara I’m used to. And it all comes down to the quality of the pasta.

I don't think that I have ever seen this product on grocery store shelves or have tried it. I can make a spaghetti dinner with my eyes closed.
