This gnocchi dish tastes like a bacon cheeseburger. Go ahead and top it as you would a burger—with ketchup, mustard and pickles.

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
• 1-1/4 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 8 cooked bacon strips, crumbled and divided
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
• 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Cook gnocchi according to package directions; drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 4-6 minutes, breaking meat into crumbles. Drain.
3. Stir in half the bacon; add gnocchi, water, cream and ketchup. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir over medium heat until sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese.
4. Broil 3-4 in. from heat until cheese has melted, 1-2 minutes. Top with tomatoes, green onions and remaining bacon.
