1 one-pound package of ground turkey (or hamburger)

3-4 squirts of Heinz catsup

What To Do
Using a large saute pan, cook ground meat and garlic in a splash of olive oil. Break up the meat as it cooks.
Add onions, then corn (and other optional vegetables) and cook. Add tomato sauce and simmer. At the same time, cook macaroni until just done. Add macaroni to the meat/vegetable mixture. Add about 2-3 good squirts of catsup and mix well.

Notes
- How in the world did my Japanese grandma know catsup can function like a spice?! It works here.
- Use a large saute pan, or even a wok when you are cooking the meat. It will seem like overkill, but adding the pasta will expand the volume significantly.
