Ingredients

2 lb ground sausage (Browned on the stovetop; ground beef may be substituted.)
0.5 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream (Milk or half-and-half may be substituted.)
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 can canned sausage gravy (Can size was not stated. Homemade sausage gravy may be used instead.)
2 box gnocchi (Each box is 16 ounces. Shelf-stable pasta-aisle gnocchi was used; refrigerated gnocchi may be used but should be added during the last 30–45 minutes because it cooks faster.)
0.5 block cream cheese (Optional; add for extra creaminess. Block size was not stated.)
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Optional; stir in at the end. The creator says the dish can be made without cheese.)
parsley (Optional garnish; amount to taste.)

Steps

1
Brown the ground sausage in a skillet on the stovetop. Drain excess fat if needed, then transfer the browned sausage to the crock pot.
2
Add the beef broth, heavy whipping cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and canned sausage gravy to the crock pot. If preferred, use homemade sausage gravy instead of the canned gravy.
3
Add the two 16-ounce boxes of gnocchi. Refrigerated gnocchi may also be used, but reserve it until the final 30–45 minutes of cooking because it cooks faster.
4
Stir everything together thoroughly so the sausage, gravy, liquid, seasonings, and gnocchi are evenly distributed. If using the optional cream cheese, add half a block and stir it in for extra creaminess.
5
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 1–2 hours or on low for 2–3 hours, until the mixture is hot and the gnocchi is cooked.
6
When the dish is finished cooking, add the optional two cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well; the residual heat will melt the cheese. Omit the cheese if desired.
7
Sprinkle parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

The transcript does not specify the size of the canned sausage gravy or the cream-cheese block. Cooking time depends on the slow cooker and the gnocchi used; cook until the dish is hot and the gnocchi is tender. Refrigerated gnocchi should be added only during the final 30–45 minutes.
