Ingredients

  • 2 13.8 ounce tubes of pizza crust
  • 20 slices of pepperoni
  • 2 cups pizza blend cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • ½ pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted
  • Parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bacon cooked and chopped

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet over medium-high heat add ground beef and ground Italian sausage. Cook meat until no pink is visible then drain the excess grease.
  • In a greased baking sheet, roll out both tubes of pizza crust and cut each in half and then fold the corners of each piece inwards. Add ¼ cup of sauce onto one half of each piece of dough. Make sure to leave ½-1 inch border. Then add ¼ the amount of Italian sausage, ground beef, and bacon on top of the sauce. Top each with 5 slices of pepperoni and ¼ the amount of cheese. Fold the dough over on top of the toppings, form into a half circle shape and press the edges together then take a fork and crimp the edges. Poke a few holes in the top of each calzone and baste the top with butter. Sprinkle some parsley on top if desired.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown and crispy. Serve and enjoy!
