Servings

Ingredients:

1 egg

2 garlic cloves, minced

8 ounces ground beef

1 italian sausage, casings removed

1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

Marinara sauce, for dipping

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

1/2 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil

1/2 red onion, minced

20 ounces frozen pizza dough, thawed

1/2 cup whole‑milk ricotta cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and Italian seasoning. Cook for 4-5 minutes until ground beef and sausage are cooked. Remove from burner to cool.
While the meat mixture is cooling, divide the pizza dough into 6 equally sized pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/4" thick circle.
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of ricotta on half of each circle, followed by ¼ cup of the meat mixture and a ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella, making sure to leave a 1-inch border.
Fold half of the dough over, seal and fold edges to create a rope-like border. Transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl beat egg with 1 tbsp of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash on the top of the calzones, then sprinkle with salt and grated parmesan cheese. Cut three small vents on the top of each calzone.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
