This is such a simple, pickiest-eater-approved dinner idea! It’s a staple during baseball season at our house as it’s a recipe that can be eaten on the go and it travels well. Whether you’re rushing out the door to practice or just want a quick budget-friendly meal, you’ll love adding these easy Mini Calzones to your meal rotation!
I can often get Pillsbury canned biscuits for less than a dollar at Publix (by combining sales, coupons and rebate apps), and I love using them in this dinner idea. You can also make your own biscuit dough, of course, if you prefer that.
As far as the filling goes, your imagination is the limit! that’s one of the best things about this Mini Calzone recipe — it’s endlessly customizable. Tonight I used ground venison sausage (my husband is a hunter so we always have venison!) and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Mini pepperoni (instead of venison sausage) is another favorite of ours in this recipe. Other great filling ideas include cooked Italian sausage, spinach and Ricotta, or even just classic cheese. You really can’t go wrong!
I served the Mini Calzones with Roasted Parmesan Broccoli and of course pizza sauce on the side for dipping!
