"This recipe came from meals.com. Using the pre-made dough makes these much quicker, and they are so yummy. I frequently "customize" the ingredients, but am posting the original recipe."

ingredients

³⁄₄ lb ground beef
1 cup marinara sauce or 1 cup pizza sauce
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
1 package prepared pizza crust
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

directions

Preheat oven to 400.
Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Brown the meat, drain and transfer to mixing bowl.
Add marinara and Italian seasoning; mix together well.
Add salt and pepper.
Make 4 circles from the dough, approx.
8 inches in diameter.
Place circles on baking sheet and spoon 1/4 of the meat mixture onto each circle, being careful not to place too close to the edge (it won't seal and your fillings will leak out).
Top each circle with 1/4 of the cheese.
Fold over one edge and press down to seal, using your finger or an oiled wooden spoon handle.
Brush top of calzone with a mixture of beaten egg and water.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is golden.
