Creating the perfect Cheesy Bacon Gnocchi Bake is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your dish will bake evenly.
2. Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the potato gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
4. Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Then add sour cream, milk, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until smooth and heated through.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked gnocchi, bacon, and half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and mix well to combine.
6. Bake the Dish: Transfer the gnocchi mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly and top with remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for an added touch of flavor and color.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into portions and serve warm to enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness.

These clear, concise steps will guide you in crafting this incredible Cheesy Bacon Gnocchi Bake with ease.
