Ingredients

1 Bag Frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Small Onion diced
2 Garlic Cloves minced
1 Lb. Ground Beef
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Chili Powder
1/3 cup Beef Broth
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (I used Rao's)
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat 1 tbsp. of the olive oil into a Dutch oven pan or skillet to medium heat and pour in the frozen cauliflower gnocchi (it doesn't need to be boiled first like traditional gnocchi).
Let it cook in the skillet 5 minutes or so until all sides are nice and golden brown, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the pan. Remove once brown and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the remaining oil and then add your onion and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until aromatic then add the ground beef.
Cook the ground beef all the way through until brown and season with some salt, pepper, and then add in the paprika and chili powder. Cook for an additional minute.
Next, add in the beef broth. If you have browning on the bottom of your pan use your spatula and the liquid from the beef broth to scrap and deglaze the pan at this time as well.
Add in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
Slowly add the shredded cheese in, a little at a time and mix it so it melts. Repeat until the cheese is fully incorporated.
Toss the browned cauliflower gnocchi back into the skillet and fold it in gently so it's one mixture. Remove from the heat and serve!
