Cheeseburger Gnocchi Recipe — How to Make Gnocchi in 15 Minutes

Start by melting some butter in a large skillet.

We’re going to start with toasting the gnocchi, because everyone knows the best burgers have toasted buns. For this gnocchi recipe you don’t have to boil the gnocchi first. Toss the gnocchi in the hot skillet for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. See what I mean about these little pillows from heaven?? You could seriously just eat these as a meal!

Remove the gnocchi to a plate, crank the heat up to high, and when the pan is very hot and smoking, add in the ground beef, onion, garlic and seasonings. I use salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mustard powder would be fabulous here also if you’re into that sort of thing! This is a cheeseburger gnocchi recipe after all!

Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Next add the tomatoes and broth. You could definitely use water here instead, the broth just gives it a little extra flavor.

Then add the gnocchi back in and stir to combine.

Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

When the gnocchi is tender turn off the heat, then add the cream and cheese and stir to combine.

Top with a little more cheese and chopped scallions. You could also use pickles or capers to give it an extra cheeseburger flavor. :)

Broil in the oven until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

This gnocchi recipe is so, so good. Seasoned beef. Spicy tomatoes. Gooey cheese. Toasted potato dumplings. Does it seriously get any better than this??! Hope you enjoy this Cheeseburger Gnocchi recipe as much as we do!!
