  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>My mom made this for me all the time growing up. She is a horrible cook, and her meals always included noodles. I eat much healthier now (partly because I CAN cook) but every so often I&#8217;ll make this dish. It&#8217;s super easy, includes very few ingredients (most of which you should already have at home), and tastes freaking delicious.</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Boil pasta. When ready, drain and set aside.</li>
		<li>While pasta is cooking, drop a tablespoon or two of olive oil into a hot pan. Place the ground meat in the pan and cook. Season with garlic salt. While browning, mix and break up any large pieces of meat.</li>
		<li>When pasta is ready and meat is well seasoned and cooked, toss pasta in with meat and allow all to cook and brown. Season with a bit more garlic salt if needed.</li>
		<li>Once incorporated, spoon meat and noodle mix into a bowl. Squirt some ketchup all over the pasta and mix completely to coat.</li>
		<li>Eat and enjoy.</li>
