Cowboy Calzone

This is from my Pioneer Woman Cooks Cookbook.

As an important note, Ellie ate an entire Calzone for dinner tonight and loved it.

Brown...

1/2 pound hot breakfast sausage

1 pound ground beef

1/2 onion, finely diced

Drain off extra fat and add...

1 8 oz. can Rotel brand tomatoes with chillies

Cool.

In another bowl combine...

8 oz. ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

1 egg, beaten

Salt and Pepper to taste

Add the cooled meat mixture to the cheese mixture and stir gently to combine.

Roll out 1 premade pizza crust and cut into quarters, then into triangles. Fill with 1/4 cup of the mixture and wrap up. I suppose you could make this any way you wanted, but I chose to make them like I make chicken roll ups because they are easy for little hands to eat. You are supposed to brush them with olive oil, but I didn't, and they baked just fine.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 450 degrees, until golden brown. I served it with a simple salad and like I said, my kids loved it!
