    Ingredients

    • â…” lbs ground beef
    • ½ large onion or 1 small onion, grated with food processor or box grater
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
    • ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
    • 11 oz. thin crust pizza dough
    • 1 small can of tomato paste 6 oz.
    • 2 oz. sliced black olives or a handful
    • 7 thai chili peppers (optional) sliced
    • 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC).
    • Combine beef with onion, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric powder, salt and pepper.
    • In a pan, cook beef mixture on high heat and break up the beef to small pieces. Mix around to sauté for about 8 min or cooked through. Liquid will have evaporated and at that point beef should sauté in its own fat for a couple minutes to give a nice sauté. Next, remove from heat and prepare rest of calzone.
    • Grease a large cookie sheet with some ghee or use parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet.
    • Place pizza dough onto sheet and top one whole half of dough with tomato paste. The other half will be folded over to close the calzone.
    • Add the beef on top of the tomato paste.
    • Add the olives.
    • Add the chili peppers.
    • Top with the cheese.
    • Fold other half of dough over to to meet the ends and use your fingers to bind the ends and fold over.
    • Make a few slices in the dough (or poke holes) to let air out while cooking.
    • Pop into the oven for 20 min. Cut and enjoy!
