spicy sausage calzones
My oldest daughter inspired me to try Calzones after she made some for her family. We like ours spicier then they do, and so I came up with this version using Owens HOT pork sausage. They are my husband's favorite meal! You could substitute, hamburger meat, mild pork sausage or Italian sausage.
