Unsloppy Joes

These are pretty much sloppy joe calzones in biscuits and they are awesome! I feel like this would be great for kids too... (Will and I tend to like food that kids like).

You've probably seen the commercial - here's a link to the Grands!® Unsloppy Joes recipe.

1 lb lean ground beef

1 can sloppy joe sauce (15 oz)

1 tsp chili powder
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® refrigerated biscuits 

1/2 c shredded cheddar 

Heat oven to 375° F. In large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Stir in sauce and chili powder; simmer 5 minutes.

Press each biscuit into 6-inch round. I put each biscuit between 2 sheets of wax paper and rolled it out. Then, peeled it up and put it onto the cookie sheet. I filled it with the sloppy joe mix once the biscuit was on the cookie sheet.

Spoon 1/3 cup meat mixture and about 1 tablespoon cheese onto center of each round. Fold dough in half over filling; press to seal. Bake for 12-15 min or until golden brown.

Homemade Calzone

This was the funnest thing EVER to make! And so good too. A must try! I saw this on Pinterest and found the recipe here. There are great step-by-step pictures at the site to help.

So... this is what is looks like on the website:

And here is ours:

We put a little cheese on top of the loaf so it looks a little different.

Ok, so here's what you will need, and what we did:

pizza dough
pizza sauce
cheese
can of mushrooms
olives
pepperoni

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. I had two things of refrigerated pizza crust (thin crust). So, I put those together on parchment paper, and rolled it out into one big rectangle. Then, put pizza sauce down the middle, followed by pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, cheese, etc. Cut the dough on the sides at about 3/4 inch intervals. After all the cuts are made, start folding them over like the pictures on the website show. If you have used parchment paper, you can easily just pick up the loaf and move it to a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 min. So fun and easy!!!
