1 lb ground beef or sausage
24 slice mozzarella cheese
12 slice pepperoni
1/2 lb Connecuh sausage, sliced
1 jar(s) spaghetti sauce (I used Paul Newman's for ease)
2 can(s) Pillsbury pizza dough
3/4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 medium bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

1. Brown ground beef or sausage with onion and bell pepper. Stir in sliced Connecuh sausage. (Feel free to add any meat you like, Italian sausage is awesome). Drain meat.
2. Pour in 3/4 jar of Paul Newman's Garlic & Herb spaghetti sauce (or your choice I use PN's for ease and it has a lot of flavor).
3. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and Italian seasoning.
4. Spray your long jelly roll pan with Pam. Roll out the pizza dough in a square or round shape, your choice.
5. Line the dough with slices of mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
6. In the center spoon the meat sauce.
7. For the square shaped: Fold over one end and then fold the other end to overlap. Fold the end pieces up to seal the calzone. Fold over so the seam is on the bottom. For the Round dough: Fold over like a crescent moon and pinch the ends to close the calzone.
8. I brush my calzone with melted butter and sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
10. While this is baking I heat the remaining sauce in a saucepan on medium/low for dipping or drizzling over the calzone.
