Ingredients

1-2 TBSP olive oil
1 yellow onion diced
4 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
1.25 lb. ground beef
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp. dried oregano
8 oz. ricotta cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
2 eggs
2 TBSP fresh parsley
2 refrigerated pizza dough cans or dough balls
marinara or pizza sauce for serving

Instructions

Pour olive oil into a sauté pan. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and liquid has evaporated. Add the ground beef and seasonings and crumble up and until no longer pink.
Combine the ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, 1 egg, and parsley in a bowl and mix well.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Create eight 5-6″ rounds with the pizza dough.
Add a dollop of cheese mixture, followed by the beef mixture and topped with a bit of shredded cheese onto one-half of the round. Close up the calzone by folding the top dough over filling and press to seal. Continue with the other 7 calzones.
Brush with a whisked egg and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Serve with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Add olives, roasted peppers or your other favorites too.
