My nephew will eat almost anything as long as it is covered in or cooked with ketchup. Since he’ll be staying with us for a few days, I’ve had recipes with this tomatoy condiment on my mind. I make a simple noodle dish that he really likes, and of course use ketchup in my meat loaf (and pour some on top while it bakes), but other than that, I haven’t really had any new ideas. Care to share your favorite recipe that uses ketchup?

Here’s mine

Boil some macaroni according to the package directions. In the meantime, brown some hamburger meat and season it with salt and pepper. Drain the cooked noodles and pour them in the pan with the hamburger meat. Squirt some ketchup on top, stir well and serve. I have yet to come across a kid that doesn’t like this simple dish.
