Calzone Stuffed with Mushroom and Cheese

Calzone with Mushroom and Cheese

Hope everyone had a great long weekend..Todays recipe is gonna be calzone..For those who had not heard of this “Calzone is a folded pizza that is stuffed with your favorite veggies and baked”.This dish is originated in italy..This is pretty simple to make..Infact you could stuff some chicken filling inside and do the same..or any filling will do..As you can see I made a couple of big calzone,if you are making this for parties you could make small ones and serve as a appetizer.Traditionally the filling is cooked first and filled,But I added it raw and I liked that way(it is easy that way)...They use Marinara sauce in it but I used tomato ketchup.This makes life easier and it came pretty great...So hope you try this and let me know what you think.
