Calzones... cont.

Add mixture to one side of the dough, add cheese to the top, if desired, and then fold the dough over the top. Make sure you don't add too much filling because the dough will rip and not work out. Fold the edges over each other and pinch the edges closed. Brush with butter, I added garlic to my butter for extra flavor. Bake @ 350, for about 20 mins, or until the dough is nice and golden brown... I FORGOT TO TAKE A FINISHED PIC! :( they were so good that we chowed down as soon as they were out of the oven!

Here are some other filings that would be good:

left over turkey! mix it up with veggies, or left over green bean casserole, or cranberry sauce, or add some other flavors to change it up

Pizza fillings! what ever you like!

Pork! (my little brother said "pork and beans"... not my favorite, but hey! it might be yours!!!) I would mix it with potatoes, or maybe vegetables.

Make Breakfast, use eggs, sausage, or bacon, and potatoes!

Fruit! make small hand pies

Cinnamon spread with apples on the inside, and Cinnamon sugar on the top

Most important, just make sure that you add some sort of sauce to the meats because the dough can get dry, so its nice for it to be moist inside... there are many many different things you could do! have fun!

Calzones! YUM!

This is a great meal if you have left over stuff in your fridge!!! i didn't any any left overs, but wished i did... here is what i did... and again, use your own judgement when it comes to the measurements, but i will give guide lines!

1/2 pound ground beef
vegetables (i used spinach, and broccoli)
sauce (I had to use tomato soup because I didn't have any pizza sauce)
Bisquick (about 2 cups)

So, I browned the beef, and once it was browned i added all the frozen veggies i had in my fridge, about a cup of frozen spinach, and a cup of broccoli. I added the tomato soup until it was mixed with sauce, but NOT soupy! you're going to be putting this inside dough and you don't want it to be saucy! Once its all mixed together, set aside and let cool a little.

For the dough, add about 2 cups of Bisquick in a bowl, add about 1/4 cup of water, and mix, you'll probably need to add more water, you want a dry mixture that can be rolled out, make sure its not too wet! add water, little by little until its incorporated, if you add too much water, then add a little Bisquick until the dough is "rollable"

Kneed the dough until its smooth, and then roll out until its about 1/4 thick. make about 7 to 8 inch rounds, use a bowl and trace around it with a knife to get the rounds perfect!
