Mr. Food: Meatball calzone

Published: Updated:

What You’ll Need:

1 pound store-bought pizza dough
1 (14-ounce) package frozen meatballs, (about 18 meatballs)
1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, plus extra for dipping
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Divide dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured surface, spread each dough ball with your fingertips or the heel of your hand to make a 7- to 8-inch circle. Place half the meatballs on each dough circle, forming a semicircle of filling on half of each dough circle and leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.Evenly distribute mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, and cheese over meatballs. Fold dough over filling, forming half-moons. With your fingers or a fork, pinch edges together firmly to seal.

Place calzones on baking sheet and brush the top of each with 1 teaspoon oil. Pierce the tops 3 or 4 times with a fork or knife.

Bake 18 to 22 minutes, or until crust is golden. Serve with extra spaghetti sauce on the side.
