Nothing beats a one-pan dinner, especially when it’s filling and full of flavor!
This easy weeknight meal combines Heinen’s fresh, CARE Certified lean ground beef, Fan Favorite steak & burger seasoning, potato gnocchi, and sharp cheddar for the ultimate cheeseburger skillet. Think of it like a fresh spin on the boxed hamburger pasta kit, except this recipe simplifies the ingredient list and swaps traditional macaroni noodles for pillowy gnocchi. To save time (and limit unnecessary dishes), this recipe calls for simmering the uncooked gnocchi right in the sauce, no boiling necessary. Look for Heinen’s Potato Gnocchi near the other dried pastas.
