  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, sautéed vegetables, diced cooked chicken, condensed mushroom soup, and pimentos.
  5. Stir in the grated Velveeta cheese until it begins to melt and coats the ingredients evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 pound of grated cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
