SPAGHETTI SQUARES

*spaghetti Squares* image

I found this from the Kraft Canada website and I tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes. I found the original recipe bland (which some of my family members would love!). The original recipe didn't call for salt and pepper but it really does need some. You may need to season it more when serving.
