Calzones

2 Pillsbury Refrigerate Pizza Crusts (I use thin crust)
1 pound sausage or hamburger
1 c. ham, pepperoni or combination
1 can mushrooms
1 onion
3 garlic cloves chopped
1 T. oregano
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 jar pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese blend
1 cup Parmesan cheese
olive oil

This is one of those recipes that I add what I have in the fridge. I brown the meat, add the onions, mushrooms, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. If you don't like heat, leave the red pepper flakes out. If you like green peppers or other pizza toppings feel free to add. I then add one jar of pizza sauce.

While this simmers, I get the dough ready. I like to use a stone bar pan. I spread some olive oil on the bottom and sprinkle with garlic powder. Spread one of the pizza crusts down on the pan. Spread a 1/3 of the shredded and Parmesan cheeses. Add the meat and sauce mixture. Spread the remaining shredded cheese and 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Cover with remaining pizza crust and seal the edges. Spread olive oil over the entire calzone. Sprinkle garlic powder and Parmesan on top.

Bake on 375 for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
