Slice ½ stick of butter into pats and add to the mixture. Fold in the cheddar cheese and blend well. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. When tender, drain and add to mixture. The hot spaghetti will melt the butter and cheese, creating a wonderful sauce. Pour spaghetti into 5-quart casserole dish and top with American cheese. Cut the remaining butter into pats and place on top of the cheese. Using your hands, press the spaghetti down tightly into the casserole dish allowing milk to cover the spaghetti. Bake for 45 minutes.
