Calzones


I can say without hesitation that these are some of the best things I make. Yeah, that's my cook ego talking but seriously. The family practically jumps up and down when they see me buying the ingredients for these. You can make them with ANYTHING...your only limit is your imagination. For this post I used the original Greek recipe but you can make them cheeseburger delight style (ground beef, onions and cheddar), Mexican style (ground meat, tomatoes, jalapenos and Mexican blend cheese) or really anything. Take your favorite pizza topping and simply throw it into this heavenly dough balls. The sister gives it 5 stars and the brother gives it 10, ha!

Greek Calzones
Serves 4

Ingredients:

½ package of lean ground beef (can also use ground turkey)
½ container low fat feta cheese
½ container of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 roll pizza dough (by the refrigerated biscuits)
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic
Greek Seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400

Brown meat and onions, seasoned with Greek seasoning and garlic. Once cooked, add in cheese and tomatoes and toss.

Unroll pizza dough and cut into four equal (as you can get it) rectangles and place on a cookie sheet. Using a slotted spoon, place a ¼ to ½ cup of meat into middle of each rectangle. Gather 4 corners of each rectangle and gather at the top, pinching together sides to seal the meat in.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top and bottom.
