Preparation

Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
Wash and dry all produce.
Peel, then onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
Thinly slice green onions.

In a large oven-proof pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter over medium, then add gnocchi and corn. Stir to combine. Carefully add 2 tbsp water. (NOTE: Be careful; it may splatter.) (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, use a large non-stick pan. You will transfer the mixture to a baking dish in step 4.)
Cover and cook for 3-4 min, until gnocchi softens. When soft, uncover and cook for an additional 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer gnocchi to a plate. Set aside..

Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high. When hot, add beef, peppers and onions. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Add Mexican Seasoning and tomato sauce base. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
Add 1/2 cup (1 cup) warm water and black beans with their can liquid. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until slightly reduced.

To the pan with beef sauce, add gnocchi and half the cheese, then stir to coat. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, carefully transfer gnocchi mixture to an 8x8-inch [9x13-inch] baking dish.) Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Broil in the middle of the oven for 1-3 min, until bubbling and cheese is melted. (TIP: Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn!)
