Our New Family Favorite!


Hi Ladies.   So I get tired of the same old recipes that keep recycling through my kitchen.  I love this blog because I've gotten new and great ideas from all of you!  Thank You.   I like to purchase recipe books from time to time.... and tonight I dusted one off and hoped for inspiration.  I found an EASY recipe - most things we probably have in the pantry or freezer - and my kids LOVED THEM!  The nice thing is most of these ingredients are "lean" or "skim" or "low fat" if you so choose.  You could probably throw in  a few veggies and they would never know!  Here you go:

Cheeseburger Calzones

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1 jar (1 lb 10 oz) Ragu Robusto Pasta Sauce
1 jar (8 oz.) marinated mushroom, drained and chopped (optional)
1 C. shredded Cheddar Cheese (about 4 oz.)
1 Package (12 oz.) refrigerated large flaky biscuits (8 biscuits)

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In 12-inch skillet, brown ground beef with onion and salt over medium-high heat; drain.  Stir in 1 cup Ragu Pasta Sauce, mushrooms and cheese.

2.  Roll or press out each biscuit to a 6 - inch circle (this is key - roll them big enough!)  Place 1/2 Cup beef mixture on each dough circle; fold over and press edges to close.  Seal completely by pressing along edges firmly with tines of fork.

3.  With large spatula, gently arrange on cookie sheets.  Bake 13 minutes or until golden.  Serve with remaining sauce (warm it up and dribble on top of Calzone or serve on the side)

De-lish :)

Just made em - they were really good! But 1/2 C of the filling is too much. try 1/3 C. Love the dipping sauce too!!!
