This Creamy Cheeseburger Gnocchi is a one-skillet dinner made with ground beef, potato gnocchi, sharp cheddar, diced pickles, and a spoonful of mustard for real cheeseburger flavor.

This Creamy Italian Tuscan Chicken is a one-pan dinner made with pan-seared chicken, penne pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a Parmesan cream sauce that comes together in under 40 minutes.
