Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler.

Cook gnocchi according the the package directions; drain.

Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat, crumbling beef until no longer pink, about 4-6 minutes. Drain.

Stir in half of the bacon; add gnocchi, water, cream and ketchup. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Broil 3-4 inches from heat until cheese has melted, 1-2 minutes.

Top with tomatoes, green onions and remaining bacon.
