A couple things, in bullet points:
– I am in the process of creating a new website and it has been like learning an entirely new language! It feels like it will take forever to get it up and running, but I’m so excited to reveal it to you all!
– My oldest cutie had a minor surgery this week and EVERY time we spend a day in the hospital with him none of our brains work for a week. Hence the bullet points.
– Yes, I do realize that some random things have popped up on this site this week. (see: first and second bullet points)
– This calzone is a new dinner favorite, or perhaps tied with Sloppy Joes, Easy Chicken Rice Bake and Meatball Sub Casserole.
– I cannot believe how nice it is outside! 80 degrees at the end of September. LOVE. IT.

Just as with pizza and stromboli, there are endless possibilities with calzones. Swap the meat or veggies out with any of your choice.
This probably goes without saying, but you will need a cast-iron skillet for this recipe. Please don’t put a regular skillet into your oven and come crying.
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for peeking in!
MEATY CAST IRON SKILLET CALZONE
ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 8-oz. container sliced mushrooms
- 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed according to package directions
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ~20 pepperonis
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
instructions:
How to cook MEATY CAST IRON SKILLET CALZONE
- Cook the ground beef in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add onions, green peppers and mushrooms. Cook until veggies are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer contents of the skillet to a bowl and drain grease (do not clean skillet).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the pizza dough nearly in half, one part being slightly bigger than the other. On a flat, floured surface rough the dough into two circles, one 10 inches in diameter and the other 12 inches. Place the larger circle on the bottom and up the sides of the skillet, letting the dough hang over the edge. Spread the marinara sauce evenly onto the dough and top with the cooked meat and veggies. Top with a layer of pepperonis and then the cheese.
- Place the remaining circle of dough over the top. Pinch the dough edges together creating a seam. Using a sharp knife, cut a few vent lines into the top of the calzone. Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cut like a pizza and serve with extra marinara sauce, if desired.
