Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, leaving 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan. Add ground beef and onion to the skillet. Cook until beef is browned and onions are tender. Drain excess grease.
