Meatball Calzone

Meatball Calzone

This recipe is more about compiling than cooking. It's super easy because it's likely you already have all the ingredients.


Frozen Rhodes bread loaf--( 1 pound loaf, thawed)

Frozen Costco Italian Meatballs-heat as directed-(about a dozen)
Shredded Mozzarella cheese (1-2 cups)
Parmesan (1/2 cup)
Egg wash
Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce

On a floured surface (or Roul pat), roll out the thawed dough into a 18 x 12 inch rectangle. Spoon on the desired amount of cooked meatballs and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese on half the rectangle of dough. Fold dough over filling and press edges firmly to seal.
Place on a baking stone (or cookie sheet). Brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 15-30 minutes while you preheat the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Enjoy!!

Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada


Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole



2 cups diced chicken breast meat
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
2 Tb chopped fresh cilantro
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4.5 oz) can diced green chili peppers, drained
1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce – MILD8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 (8 oz) container low fat sour cream
Preheat the oven to 375°. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Sauté chicken with cumin and coriander until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the cilantro, black beans, and green chili peppers.
Spread half of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Place 4 tortillas over the sauce, overlapping if necessary. Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the sour cream.
Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the cheese, and make another layer of tortillas. Layer the remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas.
Cover dish with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the cover, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and dot with sour cream. Continue cooking, uncovered, for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
