SpaghettiOs with Meatballs are a classic, convenient choice for a fast and simple meal. I find it so convenient to keep several cans on hand when I'm too busy or uninspired to cook. The circular pasta is easy to eat, and the small meatballs add a bit of protein. The tomato sauce is flavorful, if a bit sweet, satisfying my craving for a comforting, warm dish. When I can't decide what to eat, a can of SpaghettiOs is a reliable option that requires minimal effort. It's a nostalgic and fuss-free meal.

My kids love spaghettios with meatballs. It is an affordable quick meal.

Great price and value but some cans had dents.

My favorite part of this product is that it comes in a 12-can pack. You can hardly find this in stores, anymore. That’s a shame. No one is going to confuse Campbell’s Spaghetti with something you can get from a great Italian restaurant, or even with Ragu or Prego (or others - insert your favorite brand, here), but this is, really, kids food and for stretching a budget or for making something that fussy kid eaters will like, well you could do a lot worse than Campbell’s Spaghetti. When you need to throw something together, quick, you can always add your own sausage or ground beef and season this to taste. It’s decent, if a little on the bland side, but lack of flavor can always be remedied by adding seasonings that most people have in their spice rack. Is Campbell’s Spaghetti, Gourmet? No, but it’s good and quality food that is excellent as a starter for Spaghetti or other tomato-based dishes.

My daughter, who happens to be 21, is obsessed with the Spaghetti-O's with meatballs in any form. She absolutely loves how they taste, and the texture. She isn't the same about the original/plain, just the ones with meatballs... We purchase about one 12pk a month and have done that for almost 2 years now. Yes, I actually budget for these things. We have bought just about every version with meatballs, including the chicken meatballs once, before the price jumped up so high on those. We basically get whatever is the best price at the time. If multiple are the same price then we choose whichever we are in the mood for. Like a bunch of kids, we get silly over the pasta shapes. My boys, who are 14 eat them once in a while too. More so than any other type of canned pasta or soup. They just tend to gravitate to frozen stuff instead for some reason, probably mostly because they are too lazy to want to grab a bowl (yes, my teen sons are really that lazy). I really should just do the subscribe and save, except that then we couldn't mix and match the different themes for fun. But we will continue to buy them. I personally have not once received a bad batch, or a damaged shipment. I feel bad for those that did, but I can honestly say, with a sense of certainty, that that isn't the norm. This coming from literally getting a 12 pack every single month for nearly 2 years with no issues at all. I often forget to leave reviews on stuff like this but I just happened to notice all the reviews about damaged or expired shipments so I thought I would add my experience for those still contemplating giving them a try.
