Cheddar and Beef Calzone
- 23 pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 whole Large Onion, Grated
- 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- 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 saute for about 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through.
- The liquid will evaporate and at that point the beef should saute in its own fat for a couple minutes to give a nice saute.
- 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!
