Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • ½ cup (4 ounces / 120 g) beef broth
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream
  • 1 package (18 ounces) store-bought gnocchi, shelf-stable (not frozen or refrigerated)
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1-2 large dill pickles, chopped, for garnish
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • To the same skillet, add the ground beef, onion, hamburger seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, breaking the meat apart as it browns, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is softened, about 6–7 minutes.
  • Drain any excess grease. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, heavy cream, and gnocchi. Stir well to combine. Bring to a low simmer, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook, covered, for 5 minutes, or until gnocchi is tender. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and bacon on top. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with chopped pickles and Roma tomatoes before serving.
