RECIPE! Cheeseburger Gnocchi- gluten free!

 

I’d seen on pinterest this amazing look dish. I love using pinterest. Are you over there? I am! Come on over and let’s be pin friends.

Anywhoo, I’m always on the search for a good gluten free recipe. I’m only gluten free because Eddy has to be gluten free. He has an allergy to it and honestly when we discovered it, there was very little information about it out there. We had to come up with our own recipes, tweak old recipes and y’all, I only cook southern! But we have muddled our way through and this was not one to disappoint.

I had to make the recipe my own and make it gluten free. It’s a KEEPER!!!!

 

INGREDIENTS
1 TBS butter

2 packages of DeLallo Gluten Free Potato & Rice Flour Gnocchi

2 pounds 93% lean ground beef

1/4 cup diced yellow onion

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp salt

1 TBS Weber Hamburger seasoning

2 cans (14 ounces) diced tomatoes

1.5 cups beef broth

reduced fat shredded cheese or regular fat cheese.

Directions:

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.

Add gnocchi to skillet and cook for 5 minutes until it turns golden brown on each side.
Remove gnocchi from skillet and set aside.

Add onions, garlic and beef to skillet.  Add salt and hamburger seasoning and cook until beef is no longer pink.  Drain if necessary.

Place beef mixture, diced tomatoes, beef broth and gnocchi in skillet and cook until it starts bubbling.  Reduce heat to low-medium and cook until liquid is minimal.

Sprinkle as little or as much cheese on top and place a lid over skillet for 2 minutes to melt cheese. Enjoy!!!

Be sure to let me know if y’all make it! I’d love to hear and see a picture!

HAPPY HAPPY READER FACES!!

I am so grateful for all my readers! The smiles on these faces and fun photos are my why! Have a wonderful new year! I’m excited to be bringing more fun, southern cozy mysteries your way!

CHARACTER GUEST POST: BUNNY BOWOWSKI

I love this throwback character post of Bunny Bowowski!!! I hope you do too!

Hi-do! Good morning! Welcome to The Bean Hive. I’m Bunny Bowowski.

You can grab a regular coffee from the coffee bar or a tea. But you look like you want one of them fancy drinks like a latte, or one of them caramel macchiato. You know, they are filled with sugar. Don’t take my word for it. I’m just an employee that’s making those Killer Lattes, ummm, Star Studded Lattes since Lemon Productions is here filming a movie.

But I bet you’re here to check out all the noise about the #killerlatte. I mean, really. Just because that Hollywood actress, Daisy Lemon, came in here to get a Star Studded Latte but was kidnapped in the process, doesn’t make it a #killerlatte.

But you’d have to ask Roxanne Bloom, Roxy if you know her, about any sort of particulars. She was the one who seen Daisy last. I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but she’s asked me to look after the coffee house while she headed down to the police station.

Mmmhmmm. Now I did hear the ransom note was accompanied by a photo of Daisy. She was dripping in diamonds. And not just any diamonds. All the diamond jewels used in the movie. I bet that’s got to be heavy around her neck.

I heard Low-retta Bebe. . .huh? Oh! You don’t know Loretta. We call her Low-retta because when she says her name, her southern accent, well, you know what I mean.

Anyways, Low-retta owns Diamond’s downtown and she offered all her jewels for the production company to use while they were filming. Daisy Lemon had all them on. Ain’t that strange?

Oh no…the police didn’t leak the photo. Maxine Bloom did. She’s got her sneaky ways to getting things. She write Sticky Situation, the gossip column in the Honey Springs Newspaper. But claims she’d doing a piece for People and she got her hands on the kidnapper photo.

Now that’s just hearsay because I ain’t seen the photo.

I’ve rattled on enough. You enjoy your Killer Latte, I mean. . .you know what I mean. Y’all come on back. Remember that around these parts, the gossip is just as hot as the coffee. Toodles!
