Quiet your growling stomach with a hearty “man-size” calzone.

Ingredients

2 loaves frozen bread dough
1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. hamburger or ground turkey
l large jar regular Prego sauce
8 oz. grated mozzarella cheese
8 oz. grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Thaw bread dough on a greased cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground pork and hamburger in large saucepan. Drain fat and add Prego sauce to pan. Let sauce simmer.

Divide each loaf in half. One at a time, stretch each half with your hands, making a circle on the cookie sheet (like a pizza crust). Put 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of hamburger mixture on half the circle. Sprinkle with cheeses. Fold the remaining half of the dough over to form a turnover. Pinch edges together to seal. Stick wooden toothpicks (about 3 per turnover) into edges to help hold the calzone together. Repeat with remaining dough to make four calzones. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Turnovers will be golden brown when done. Take the toothpicks out. Cover with extra hamburger mixture. Sprinkle with more cheese and enjoy! Serves four “man-size” portions.
