Cheeseburger Gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi
- ½ lb lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
- 2 cups diced onion (about 1 whole onion)
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10-oz) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles
- 1 cup beef broth (or water)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced scallions
- 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 ½ 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!! :)

3T Ranch Meatballs
Hungry for some comfort food? 3T Ranch Meatballs are easy, fast and tasty!
You will need:
Meatballs: 1 pound grass fed/grass finished ground beef, 1 egg, ½ cup garlic breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, good dash of garlic and pepper seasoning, salt and pepper, 1 chopped sweet onion, 1 chopped jalapeno, ½ chopped red bell pepper.
Sauce: 1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce, 4-5 chopped cloves of garlic (the more the better for our family), 5 chopped basil leaves, salt & pepper.
Mix all of your meatballs ingredients, onion and peppers need to be sautéed. I use one of my smallest ice cream scoops to make my meatballs the same size. I also preheat my cast iron skillet with about 2 tablespoons of oil. All of your meatballs should be nicely brown in about 8 minutes, make sure you turn them, so they have a crunchy crust all over them. Your meatballs will not be fully cooked at this point, they will need to finish up in the tasty sauce. Take all of your meatballs out of the skillet, pour your marinara in along with the basil and garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Stir for about 2 minutes and put the meatballs into the sauce. Turn your heat on low, put a lid on and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. During the 10 minutes, turn the meatballs twice. I serve the meatballs on a toasted bun with melted mozzarella on the top. We had a lot of green beans this year, so I try to sneak some veggies to my cowboys. Gotta eat healthy! Enjoy!
