This recipe was inspired by Dash of Mandi’s Hamburger Helper Gnocchi . I saw this and KNEW I had to make this. The issue was this meal was a bit imbalanced with the high fat intake. I wanted to make this lower in fat and with bison instead of ground beed. You could also sub ground turkey if beef isn’t your thing.
Could you make this even lower in fat with ground turkey and reduced fat cheese? Sure, do yo thang, but for me, I’ll take full fat cheese and bison all day.
Want lower carb? I am sure Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi would be an excellent substitute for the potato gnocchi.
To add a bit more fiber, serve alongside some roasted veggies like broccoli, artichokes, and Brussel sprouts.
Whatever you decide to do, this recipe is a hit, I promise. I served this on Super Bowl Sunday!
