Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 small Yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Mustard
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 16 oz Refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Add ketchup and mustard to the beef mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until evenly coated. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 equal rectangles.
Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture in each rectangle.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal the calzones.
Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
