Cook bacon, drain grease, chop into small pieces and set aside.

Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne.

Once meat is cooked through drain any extra grease. Add the minced garlic, tomato sauce, beef broth, heavy cream, and the gnocchi.

Stir everything well. Once it starts bubbling, cover with a lid, and lower the heat to medium low. Cook for about 5 minutes covered.

Remove the lid and check to make sure the gnocchi is tender. Stir well. Top with shredded Colby Jack cheese and cooked chopped bacon.

Let sit on the stove covered until the cheese melts or pop on the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Top with some chopped green onions and enjoy!
