We tried this recipe last night, and loved it. I did have a lot of difficulty handling the pizza dough, and I also discovered we do not have a rolling pin, so I had to use a spray can of cooking spray instead. Despite the difficulties, it turned out great, and every bit of it was eaten up. This beefy calzones recipe is from the 100 Best Hamburger (Digest Comb-Bound Cookbooks) cookbook.
