Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 (15 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 (16 oz) packages gnocchi
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Toppings (optional)

  • Sour cream
  • Black olives, sliced
  • Green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is fully browned and no longer pink inside. Drain excess fat from the skillet to reduce greasiness.
  2. Add taco seasoning: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and stir thoroughly to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Add tomatoes, broth, and gnocchi: Pour in the can of petite diced tomatoes (with their juices), the beef broth, and add the gnocchi to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Cook the gnocchi: Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer. Cook until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Melt the cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  6. Serve with toppings: Spoon the taco gnocchi into bowls or plates and add your favorite taco toppings such as sour cream, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat after browning the beef to make this dish leaner.
  • Use fresh toppings to add crunch and freshness contrasting with the rich gnocchi.
  • Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter protein option.
  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the broth while simmering.
  • Leftovers reheat well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
