Beefy Calzones
"These calzones are very popular with my kids and DH. I make my own pizza dough and double the sauce to make sure we have plenty for dipping. I also frequently toss in 1 cup of frozen green pepper/ red pepper/ onion blend instead of the onion and bell pepper called for. I have made them with ground beef, but our favorite way is with leftover roast beef. Either way, they're good! These freeze well also."

These calzones were absolutely delicious !! Made for a great lunch with just some Wickles Pickles and home made beets. This was such a fast lunch to put together. I had prepared everything in the morning and just popped it in the oven when I got to work. The only thing I changed was I used red peppers (just a taste preference) and I cut the recipe in half. We both loved them. The sauce was really good for these, I was surprised, I normally just go with a sweeter pizza dipping kind of sauce but the A1 really added a nice piquant taste. Thanks for sharing your recipe Sweet Diva...will be making these again.
