Cheeseburger Gnocchi

The taste of this was very good. However, my boyfriend and I agreed that the mix of textures from the beef, gnocchi, tomatoes, and cheese were a bit weird. I'm thinking of making it again but with diced potatoes instead of gnocchi.

Like many readers, this is a homemade Hamburger Helper, but perfect for a weeknight. To keep it lighter, I used cauliflower gnocchi, plant based meat & cheese, vegetable broth, & almond milk in place of heavy cream. I added a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce & prepared ketchup & mustard. I also added a pablano pepper, fresh mushrooms & shallots instead of onion. Hubby loved it. Will definitely make this again.

This is hamburger helper. It might be better with Italian sausage instead of the hamburger. Will not make again

My toddler ate a lot of it, and I got it cooked within 20-30 minutes. Very easy and reminds me of a healthier hamburger helper.

Really good first time I made it Second time I used tortellini bc I couldn’t find gnocchi. Didn’t work as well, wouldn’t recommend

It was amazing!!!!

Added ketchup, mustard, and worcestershire sauce to make it read more 'cheeseburger' like. Was very good.

I used lean beef and made the mistake of not draining so it was kinda wet. Overall good recipe though

Loved it!

Very good. I wasn't sure at first but it turned out just like the picture. I had never tried gnocchi by itself until today! It is delicious! I had prepared the meat ahead of time and it was super fast and fun to make. My son said it was fancy hamburger helper. I tasted so much more than that and I love it. Thank you for a quick, easy and yummy recipe.

Not bad, but my family didn't care for it. I liked the texture of the gnocchi, but I felt like the flavors just didn't work well together.

Didn't have any mustard powder so just popped some mustard on top🤣 also swapped out the cream for low fat creme fresha will ad more ingredients next time like sweetcorn gherkins and some freash tomatoes

Granted we didn't add Rotel and scallions it was still very tasty. Will definitely try to keep it in the regular rotation

Yummy

Used cauliflower gnocchi. Delicious!

Aprovado! 👌

We destroyed it! 😂 It was really good and I thought my kids and husband would hate the gnocchi bc they are picky but everyone wants it again soon

I didn’t broil it and it was still very good.

We weren't a fan of it in general. Ground beef and cheese with gnocci just didn't go well in our opinion. If you like gnocci with ground beef, this would probably be a delicious recipe. But it wasn't the best for us. Not the worst, but not the greatest.

This was such a great recipe. It is the perfect representation of comfort food and there is so much room for experimenting! We added some chopped up pickles for a little extra flavor. It would probably be incredible with some bacon bits as well!

I double the gnocchi. I also add diced bell pepper.

Agree with other commenters that this was liquidy and I had to drain the excess before adding the cream

Could probably double this recipe and still fit in 12 inch skillet.

I didn't have everything while camping so I had to do some improvising: garlic and onion powder instead of the real thing; yellow mustard; Velveeta for cheddar and cream cheese. It came out pretty good.

This really did taste like a cheeseburger, in a good way. Thank you!

I would make something similar and do it very differently. Definitely not in the same skillet. Beef grease changed the texture of the gnocchi. Maybe making the beef mixture as a separate sauce to spoon over boiled gnocchi, but cooking the gnocchi in the skillet with the rest of it didn't work for me. The leftovers were even worse. At the very least, make sure the grease has been drained extra well from onions and beef. I drained it but even the little bit left ruined the gnocchi for me.

We really enjoyed this dish! Drained the tomatoes. Added sliced refrigerated dill spears to complete the cheeseburger vibe.

Definitely making again. Good flavor 😋

Delicious!!!! Followed the portions of the recipe, and it was not too runny like other commenters said. I did drain the diced tomatoes can. Also, I think for some, it might have been the "simmering" temperature after bringing all the broths to a boil. The recipe says "medium low" as to cook out the liquid faster. Other substitutions I made: mexican blend shredded cheese, mustard condiment instead of powder, no browning of gnocchi, no broiling of cheese on top, added a couple dashes of hot sauce

I make this regularly and the family loves it. I swap out the beef mince for turkey mince and also added wholegrain mustard for extra flavour. Everyone looks forward to the leftovers!

Amazing! So much flavor!

Do a full pound of ground beef and add a ton of bacon!

Delicious!

Delicious :)

Lots of reviews mentioned it being too runny, so I added water (instead of broth) only as needed - ended up only adding about 1/4 cup. To make it more of a burger flavor than chili, I added a bit of Worcestershire sauce and a squirt of ketchup, and stirred it in before adding the cream and cheese. I thought the flavor was amazing and will definitely make it again. My husband liked it and ate seconds, but said it wasn't his favorite. I still think it would be considered too spicy for kids. If my kiddo was trying it, I would used diced tomatoes (no chilis) and half the cumin.

Definitely needs some veggies - maybe pumpkin and broccoli next time. Quite rich and filling.

This was delicious really enjoyed it

Doubled the beef, added corn, added steak seasoning as well, loved it!

This was tasty but I didn’t get cheeseburger vibes at all, mainly taco or Mexican vibes. Next time I will add regular mustard and maybe some pickles on top instead of green onions. Over all, really easy to make and tasted good.

Easy quick meal and very tasty will do again

Really easy, quick and tasty. However the recipe was a bit over complicated. For one thing the gnocchi don’t really need to sit in the liquid for long, I just fry them up with lots of butter and they have a nice texture and don’t need much liquid after the butter. For that reason draining the tomatoes is a must and there is no need for the beef stock. Once I added the cheese it all came together nicely and there was zero need for cream…don’t get me wrong, I love fats in my food but I really didn’t think cream was necessary at this point! I left it out and skipped the browning as I thought the cheese worked better mixed in the dish. After adding the scallions I plated it but put a good scoop of pungent Dijon mustard on top with a couple bread and butter pickles. Different and fun!

Doubled it for leftovers and used a dutch oven -- delicious! Definitely add about half the salt or less, though, as even with only 3/4 the salt in the recipe it was pretty salty.

It was good. It came out more like chili tasting than cheeseburger. Maybe no cumin next time and diced tomatoes without the green chilies.

No instructions on the recipe so made it up as I went along. Fried the onion & garlic in the butter. Added the spices then the mince and browned. Added the stock, tomatoes and gnocchi and cooked till sauce was slightly reduced. Added the cream, then sprinked with spring onion and cheese and grilled till golden

I only used 1 cup diced onion which was great plenty. Used petite diced tomatoes and added about 1/4 cup chilies. It was very tasty but a little too juicy. Recommend draining the tomatoes. I would estimate that it could serve at least 5; more if children are eating.

Made this on a whim not actually expecting to like it but thought my partner would as he prefers heavier dishes. I loved it. Really tasty and actually not that heavy considering. For UK based...I did 1000g (2 packs) gnocchi, 750g pork/beef mince (was on offer would have got 500g but if you like it meaty then more is fine), 1 can chopped tomatoes, 400ml water with knorr beef stock pot, 2 chillis (one red, one green, sliced thinly), 150ml double cream, 6 garlic cloves, 2 red onions, spices and cheese measured with the heart! I ended up putting the gnocchi on a tray in the oven while I cooked the meat/sauce to crisp up as they were just sticking to the pan. Topped with scallions and pickles, would add some halved cherry tomatoes next time. Ketchup and mustard drizzled to serve. Made 6 decent portions for big eaters.

Doubled it for a bigger family. My teenagers didn't like it, didn't like the gnocchi (I've never cooked with it before). My wife said it was too spicy with not enough flavor.

It is spicy. If you want to cut that down then make sure to pick non spicy tomatoes. Otherwise it had good flavor.

Used regular mustard instead, added crushed red pepper. Definitely working this into the rotation. Make sure you drain your meat, ours came out a bit greasy but that's on me for forgetting I was working with ground beef and not turkey.

Didn't turn out how I thought it would but it was still tasty

This was really good it didn’t take long to make at all, it was very cheesy and putting it in the broiler for a few minutes made the cheese on top stretchy.

We love this recipe.

I really enjoyed this - it's comfort food; not complex, but a damn fine replacement for when you just want a cheeseburger. Having some gherkin as a side-dish really rounded it out. Largely followed the recipe, but replaced some of the salt with celery salt.

A bit too much pepper (and maybe cumin) in the base recipe. Tasty overall.

Swapped the heavy cream out for light cream cheese and used regular chopped tomatoes. Also added a couple of chopped gherkins. So good! Creamy, rich and delicious ☺️

Really delicious, def will make again. Honestly can make it wo beef if you want, wouldn't hurt the flavour too much. I added a tsp of paprika, and only about 1/8tsp of smoked paprika, as I don't like heat that much and I think that was perfect.

Don't skip the mustard powder, it really helps the cheeseburger taste.

I do cut the cumin for my kids sake... they don't care for spice at all... we love this for a fast prep weeknight supper!

After browning the gnocchi, skip cooking them further in the broth and tomatoes. Second time, I also cut way down on the ground beef, because gnocchi are already quite filling on their own.

Family enjoyed it.

Doubled the recipe and it came out thinner then expected but still good. Definitely needs less liquid and only do 1 can of rotel when doubled

Kids loved it despite it being a little spicy. Next time I’ll probably use the canned tomatoes with basil instead. Yay!

À refaire sans crème. À ajouter : chili flakes ou jalapenos.

It was okay, but none of us really enjoyed it. We werent sure if we liked the potato noodles.

Ran out of gnocchi so we used Shells pasta 😇

This one was really good. I replaced the gnocchis with shell pastas and everyone liked it.

Holy cheeseburger Batman! Before it was even finished I KNEW this was going to be out of this world... and I wasn't wrong! Tweaks: Tomatoes with garlic and onion instead of with chili's because the store was out. 1 lb of ground beef instead of 1/2 lb because I had it and why not!?!

My 2nd time making this. The Rotel was "too spicy" for my preschooler 🙄. Just used diced tomatoes, went over well. I don't have ground mustard but I added a squirt of yellow mustard with the spices. Can't tell. 🤷‍♀️ worth keeping, but still tinkering

I used tortellini instead of gnocchi simply because that's what I had and added some breadcrumbs on top and it is so good

Kids thought it was spicy even though I omitted the cumin. I couldn't pass up the Rotel and had dill relish on the side for anyone that wanted to add some. I really enjoyed this!

It came out a lot more saucey than I thought it would but it's tasty

Add pickles! It's not a cheeseburger without pickles. I topped it off with some smoked cheddar. On serving, I drizzled over ketchup and yellow mustard.

Next time I might add chili powder, more green chilis, Rotel with habenero or maybe jalepenos

Added more spice and should fry gnocchi longer! broil high next timelnger

Add mushrooms

Neither my kids nor I were fans.

Yummy! Tasted more Mexican with cumin tasted good with sour cream and broccoli

I used regular drained dice tomatoes to reduce the spice level for my daughter. The dish was great! My husband says it's his new favorite.

This was great. I've never used gnocchi in anything. Highly recommend.

Too spicy.

We ate a lot of hamburger helper when I was a kid. This reminded me of that, but in a good way. It was very nostalgic for me but it was better because it's made from scratch. Next time I make it I'm going to crumble bacon on top.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I used 500g of gnocchi, a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes, substituted milk for the cream and added a green chili pepper to make it more UK friendly (i.e. the packages come in those sizes). I think the chili pepper added a bit too much spice - my kids wouldn't eat it - but the adults thought it was good! I do think it was slightly too soupy but that's probably because of my substitutions rather than an issue with the original recipe. On the whole I would make it again!

I made this with vegan mince as I wanted to use it was not a great lover of it there was a bitter taste so will try again could be the ingredients I used

Kids liked it. Would make it again

Nice and tasty dish. I added a big swirl of mild American mustard to further replicate a cheeseburgers taste. The gf was right, when at the table she got up to get some pickles (gherkins). Some of that very finely diced into the pan would have been a nice touch too. 8/10

We used pasta sauce. Kids ate it so it’s a winner

Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi in a single layer and cook on one side for 2-3 minutes until browned and toasted. Shake the pan to toss the gnocchi and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until both sides are toasted. Remove gnocchi to a plate and set aside. Turn the heat to high and return skillet to stove. When the pan is very hot and smoking, add the beef and season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and mustard powder if desired. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned and onions are golden. Drain if necessary. Add the tomatoes, broth, and gnocchi back into the skillet. 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. Off heat, then add the cream and 1/2 cup cheese and stir to combine. Top with remaining cheese and scallions. Place the skillet under the broiler in the oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!
