Bacon Cheeseburger Calzones

I dismissed calzones as being too hard to make but then I found this Pillsbury recipe and it couldn’t have been any easier or any deliciouser!

Bacon Cheeseburger Calzones

4 slices bacon, chopped or about 1/4 cup bacon crumbles

1 pound hamburger

1/4 cup dried minced onion

1/4 cup chopped hamburger pickle slices

1/4 cup Ranch dressing

2 cans crescent rolls

2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced

4 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half

1 egg, beaten with a little water

1  Heat oven to 375.  Cook bacon over medium heat for about 2 minutes (if using bacon crumbles, skip this step and just add bacon to hamburger after it is cooked).  Add hamburger and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through, drain grease.  Stir in pickles and Ranch.

2  Unroll both cans of dough and separate into 8 rectangles.  Place on greased cookie sheet.  Press each into 7 x 4″ rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.

3  On the short side of each rectangle, spoon about 1/3 cup of hamburger mixture.  Top with tomato slices and 1 piece of cheese.  Fold untopped dough over filling and press edges with fork to seal.  Brush tops with egg wash.

4  Bake 15 – 20 minutes or until deep golden brown.
