This One-Pan Meat Lovers Pizza Gnocchi sports all the flavors of a loaded meat and cheese pizza. Tender gnocchi (potato dumplings) are sautéed in a bit of butter, then smothered in pizza sauce, with pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef. Top that off with a layer of melted mozzarella - wow.
Raise the heat to medium high and add the cooked gnocchi all at one time. Don’t stir for a bit, allowing the bottom of the gnocchi to turn golden brown. Turn the gnocchi and sauté one more minute.
2 pounds gnocchi, cooked according to package directions, but just a bit underdone, well drained
Top the gnocchi with pizza sauce, water, pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef, stirring to combine evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer, then top everything with grated mozzarella cheese, as desired. Scatter some pepperoni over the top.
2 cups of your favorite pizza sauce, 1/3 cup water, 2 ounces mini pepperoni plus a few more for garnishing the dish, ½ pound Italian sausage, browned and fats drained, ½ pound ground beef, browned and fats drained, 1 pound block mozzarella cheese, grated
Turn your broiler to the High setting. Transfer the prepared skillet of gnocchi to the oven, placing it about 6” under the broiler. Broil just until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
Garnish with parsley. Let skillet meal stand for approx. 5 minutes before serving.
