Calzone Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside. In the same skillet, cook bacon until crispy, then chop into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the red onion and chop the pickles into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Make the Calzone

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle. Spread cheese sauce over one half of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Layer the cooked ground beef, bacon, mozzarella cheese, red onions, and pickles over the cheese sauce. Sprinkle additional mozzarella on top.

  5. 5

    Seal the Calzone

    Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Add Cheddar and Serve

    After baking, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
