|
Yield: 4 servings (1 calzone and 1/3 cup sauce per serving)

CL Comments: Prepare the pizza dough rectangles while the beef mixture cooks so that you can spoon hot beef directly from the skillet onto the dough.
Amy's Comments: This was a fairly tasty meal and will definite be a good one to repeat. With a salad, it made a great lunch for 7 points. It definitely filled my need for fattening italian :) Easy to prepare and can be versatile - next time im doing spinach and other fun things in it as well!!
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound ground round
3/4 cup frozen chopped onion (I used fresh, either is ok)
1 tsp bottled minced garlic (again, I used fresh, but either is ok)
1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-oz) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
3/4 cup (3 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella or reduced-fat cheddar cheese
cooking spray
1 1/3 cup pasta sauce
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook beef, onion, and garlic in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain. Return to pan, and add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Unroll pizza crust onto an ungreased baking sheet. Cut dough into 4 squares. Press each square into a 6x5-inch rectangle. Spoon beef mixture evenly into center of each rectangle; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bring opposite corners of rectangles together, pinching seams together to seal. Coat tops of calzones with cooking spray.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Place pasta sauce in a microwave safe dish; microwave on high for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve calzones with warm pasta sauce.
