Calzones

This recipe is a great weekend treat!  It is super easy for a Friday or Saturday night, and you can fill it with whatever you want! 

Calzones

1 pkg refrigerated thin pizza dough crust (regular works okay if you can't find thin, just get the roll near the biscuits)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb ground hot sausage, browned and drained
pepperoni
other favorite pizza toppings (hamburger, onions, peppers, etc)
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1-2 cups pizza/marinara sauce
Roll out pizza crust on greased cookie sheet.  Cut into two equal sections.  Layer mozzarella cheese and fillings on one side of each section of crust.  Fold crust over, roll edges to create a seal.  Bake according to pizza crust directions.  You may not need to cook it as long as the package says, so keep an eye on it.  When it begins to turn light brown, it's done!  Remove calzones from oven.  Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning--brush on top of HOT calzones.  Don't be stingy...this is the best part!  Serve with pizza sauce on the side.  Makes 2 fairly large calzones...works great as left-overs.
