• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 (8 oz.) can pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Let pie crusts stand at room temperature according to package directions. Meanwhile, for filling, in a large skillet, cook the sausage, chopped onion and chopped green pepper until meat is brown and vegetables are tender; drain off fat. Stir in pizza sauce. Set filling aside.

Unfold pie crusts; cut each in half, making 4 semi-circles. spoon 1/4 of the filling onto half of each pie crust semi-circle. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Moisten pastry edges with water. Carefully lift and fold each pie crust semi-circle in half over filling. Seal edges with fingers and then with the tines of a fork.

Place calzones on a greased baking sheet. Brush with water and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut slits in top of Calzones to allow steam to escape. Bake in 375 degrees F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes on baking sheet before serving. Makes 4 servings.
