Creamy Beef and Bacon Gnocchi Skillet

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat broiler. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions, then drain.

2. 2

   In a large cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink, about 4-6 minutes, breaking the meat into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

3. 3

   Stir in half of the crumbled bacon. Add the cooked gnocchi, water, heavy cream, and ketchup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook and stir over medium heat until the sauce has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Broil the skillet 3-4 inches from the heat until the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes. Top with the remaining crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
