How to cook S.O.S.
  1. Add gound meat and onions to a pan and cook all the way through. (add a splash of oil if needed.)
  2. Add butter and let it melt. Then add flour stir till completely mixed with meat. Let the flour cook off for a few minutes.
  3. Add beef broth, whole milk, and worcestershire sauce and stir. Bring this to a boil then lower to a simmer till it is at its desired consistency. Stirring occasionally.
  4. add garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
How to cook Gnocchi
  1. Boil potatoes to fork tender. I usually cut them up so they cook faster.
  2. When done boiling drain water and mash potatoes. If you have a potato ricer that would be best but just a normal masher is good to. Let your mashed potatoes cool to room temperature.
  3. place of a flat surface and create a well. crack your egg into well and whisk egg while slowly incorporating surrounding potato.
  4. When potato and egg are completely combined add flour. Kneed till it is a workable dough. Much like a pasta dough. You may need more or less flour depending on amount of potatoes used and for dusting your dough and surface.
  5. After kneeding roll your dough into snake like form. No bigger than 1 inch thick. Then cut them about 1 inch wide.
  6. add gnocchi to boiling salted water. You will know they are cooked when they float to the top. This wont take very long.
  7. Lastly, put some oil in a pan and sear till slightly browned. Then add to your S.O.S. and mix! You don't have to sear but I think it firms the gnocchi up a little more.
