:: Bacon +3 :: BBQ Pork +5 :: Buffalo Chicken +6 ::

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, typically until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Cook the Gnocchi

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is slightly golden.

Create a Roux

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Milk

Reduce the heat to low, and add the cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Stir until fully melted and combined. Then add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Incorporate Cheeses and Spices

Carefully fold the cooked gnocchi into the cheese sauce until well coated.

Mix Gnocchi with Cheese Sauce

If desired, top with crumbled bacon, shredded BBQ pork, or shredded buffalo chicken.

Add Optional Toppings

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious gnocchi mac & cheese!
