Calzones!!!

This is essentially the empanada recipe but with the filling changed out. To see how to make the dough check this post out. 
The only difference is that I didn’t want to make a bunch, just a couple so I only made half the recipe for the dough.

Ingredients:

Dough:
  • 1 cup Bisquick mix
  • 1/6 cup hot water

Filling:
  • 1/3 chicken breast, grilled
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded

“Marinara” Sauce:
  • 6 ounces Tomato Sauces
  • ½ onion
  • ½ bell pepper (any color is fine)
  • A couple stalks celery
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Basil
  • Salt and Pepper

Marinara Sauce:
1) In a sauce pan cook down the aromatics (onion, bell pepper, celery) until they start to sweat.

2) Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3) Add tomato sauce, and maybe a small amount of water.

4) Simmer for a bit. At the very end add basil.

Assembly:
1) Layer marinara sauce, cheese and chicken like a pizza. Then fold calzones closed and baked at 350 degrees for about 15~20 minutes until crust is golden brown. 




Side note 1: I sprayed the baking pan and the calzones with cooking spray before I put them in.

Cost breakdown:
Bisquick: $0.15x3= $0.45
Chicken: $1.19x 1/8 lb= $0.15
Mozzarella: $2.84/8= $0.36
Tomato Sauce: $0.99/3= $0.33
Onion: $0.20/2= $0.10
Bell Pepper: $0.30/2= $0.15
Celery: $0.89/10= $0.09
Basil: $0.07x3=


Total: $0.45+$0.15+$0.36+$0.33+$0.10+$0.15+$0.09+$0.21= $1.84 for 2
Total per Calzone: $1.84/2= $0.92
