KD Nacho Beef Calzone

Money is getting beyond tight around here and I've been trying to use up all the stuff in the pantry and freezer. I had my kids this weekend and I had to be a little more creative than oatmeal, rice and my main goto, beans and eggs. Which has been my staple for a few weeks now. I took the hamburger out of the freezer the night before, I just wasn't sure what I was going to make with it. I saw the KD package and decided, Beef and KD, why not, almost every kid loves nachos and KD. The pizza dough came into effect when I saw the bag of flour and thought, dam, if I'm gonna be homeless soon, I might as well use that up too, I know I have yeast in the cupboard.

So I went online and looked at three pizza dough recipes. More or less all the same so here is what I made my dough with.

Pizza Dough

• 1 cup warm water (between 100°-110°F)
• Packet of active yeast or equivalent amount
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups all purpose flour (approximate)

Directions:

Nothing fancy here... I added the water, sugar and yeast. let sit for about a minute. then added the oil and half flour until it was mixed in a large bowl. Then I added more flour till it felt nice. If you want more precise, read up on a few pizza dough recipes. But that'ss all i did.

Make a container of KD. Easy right? If you don't know how to do this, well, your probably under the age of 9 and just move on.

Put hamburger into a pan and cook until brown. Add some nacho seasoning to the hamburger with a cup of water and let it come to a boil. When it boils, turn down heat to low. Once water is removed, it's done. I used nacho seasoning from Costco as it is the best bang for the buck.

As the other stuff was cooking, I spread out the pizza dough after letting it rise for about 15 minutes. Once spread out, I greased a cookie sheet and laid out the pizza dough on the pan.

Everything is cooked and ready. I put a little bit of tomato sauce on the pizza dough, which I don't think is required. Then scoop as much beef and KD on top as you want. Sprinkle a little cheese if you have it. Then fold up like a burrito. Seal the seams as best as possible and put into the oven at 450 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes.

That's all there is to it. Fast and easy actually, my son said it was his third best new favorite food next to Adobo and steak. So there you have it!

Wish I had more pictures to share... but I honestly didn't think it would be a success!!

Hope you enjoy it if you decide to make it!
