Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In 8-inch skillet, cook sausage, onion and bell pepper over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Cool 10 minutes.
2 Separate dough into 5 biscuits. On ungreased large cookie sheet, press each biscuit into 6-inch round. Top half of each round with sausage mixture and cheese to within 1/2 inch of edge. Fold dough over filling; press edges firmly with fork to seal.
3 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm calzones with warm pasta sauce for dipping.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To reduce the fat in each serving by about 6 grams, substitute turkey sausage for the Italian sausage and use Grands!® reduced-fat buttermilk biscuits instead of the regular ones.

The calzones can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead. Be sure the sausage filling is completely cooled before filling the dough. Cover the calzones and refrigerate until you're ready to bake them.

These were a hit. Did a little modification in that I used Turkey Sausage I had left over from a different recipe. Family said they couldn't tell the difference. When I make them next time, will use the Turkey Sausage again because much healthier and less fat.

How do you think this would taste using either the refrigerated pizza dough or the pie crusts?

My girlfriend didn't have bread to make pepperoni and American cheese sandwiches for lunch, so I used this recipe as a guide to make something similar. The filling didn't leave much biscuit dough to crimp around the edges, so most of them busted open and looked like hot dog rolls. Just a small amount of cheese oozed out, so hopefully she will like them tomorrow.

easy and delish! however, i did tweak it a little by using shaved steak instead of sausage. Hubby loved them...i even got a high five!

It was super quick & easy to make. I like that it is something my 4 1/2 yr old daughter liked. Something she can pick up with her hands is always fun for her. She even helped me make them by flattening out the biscuits & sealing them (with my help of course). We had fun making and eating them. Give 'em a try. =-)
