Cooking Tips

  • You can customize the filling by adding your favorite vegetables or additional spices.
  • Make sure to drain any excess fat from the cooked ground beef to prevent a soggy calzone.
  • If you don't have marinara sauce, you can use pizza sauce or even homemade tomato sauce.
  • For a crispier crust, you can brush the calzone with olive oil instead of beaten egg before baking.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover calzone can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the calzone in a preheated oven at 350掳F (175掳C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the calzone as a main course with a side salad, or cut it into smaller slices for a party appetizer or snack.
