Ingredients
- 2 pounds of Ground Beef lean
- 1 Egg large
- 4.5 oz Pepperoni
- 3.5 oz shredded Mozzarella or more
- 1 tablespoon BBQ Spice Rub (use this rub – amazon link)
- 1/4 cup Pork Rind Breadcrumbs (use these pork rinds– amazon link)
Instructions
- Prepare the meat mixture: Combine the ground beef, pork rind crumbs, half of the BBQ rub, and the egg in a large bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Divide and shape: Divide the meat mixture into 3 equal portions. Place one portion on a sheet of parchment paper.Fold the parchment paper over each side (total of 4 folds) to create straight edges, forming a rectangle.
- Add fillings: In the center of each meat rectangle, arrange a layer of pepperoni slices and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Form the calzone: Using the parchment paper, carefully fold the meat over the fillings and roll slightly to form a tube shape.Press the edges firmly to seal the calzone completely. Repeat for the remaining portions.
- Chill: Wrap each calzone tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour to help them maintain their shape during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 370°F. Remove the calzones from the parchment paper and place them on a lined baking sheet. Season with the remaining BBQ rub and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
