Cheddar and Beef Calzone
Servings 3
Calories 679kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 large onion or 1 small onion, grated with food processor or box grater
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp 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!
