Prep the Beef
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring often to avoid burning.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the mixture. Stir for 1 minute to bloom the spices. Pour in crushed tomatoes and heavy cream. Stir well, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Gnocchi Time
- Add uncooked gnocchi to the skillet. Stir to coat evenly in the sauce. If using, add black beans and corn now. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or broth.
- Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes until gnocchi is plump and tender, absorbing the sauce.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crust, broil for the last minute, watching carefully.
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, and green onions. Serve hot.
