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

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

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
