Simple, yummy and cheesy!
Ingredients
- ⅔ pounds Lean Ground Beef
- ½ whole Large Onion, Grated
- ½ teaspoons Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1-½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoons Pepper Or To Taste
- 11 ounces, weight Thin Pizza Crust Dough
- 1 can (6 Oz. Size) Tomato Paste
- 2 ounces, weight Sliced Black Olives
- 7 whole Thai Chili Peppers, Sliced
- 1 cup Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC).
Combine beef, onion, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric powder, salt and pepper in a skillet. Cook beef mixture on high heat and break the beef into small pieces as it cooks. Mix and sauté for about 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through. The liquid will evaporate and at that point the beef should sauté in its own fat for a couple minutes to give a nice sauté. Remove pan from heat and prepare the rest of the calzone.
Spray/grease a large cookie sheet with oil. Roll out the pizza dough. Place pizza dough onto the cookie sheet and top one side/half of the dough with the tomato paste. The other half will be folded over to close the calzone so leave it open. Add the beef mixture on top of the tomato paste. Add the olives and chili peppers. Top with the cheese.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filled side, and use your fingers to press the seams together and seal it. Make a few slices in the top of the dough (or poke holes) to let air out while cooking.
Pop it into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to set for a few minutes. Cut and enjoy!
