Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Seed and chop the green bell pepper.
  2. Open and drain the black olives.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 F/200 C.
  4. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic powder. Drain and return to the stove. Stir in the green bell pepper, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and black olives. Warm through over low heat for 5 minutes.
  5. Spray an oven-proof skillet with non stick cooking spray. Roll out one pizza dough and line the bottom of the skillet with the dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then add the pizza filling, shredded cheese and top with the other pizza dough, carefully pinching the dough around the edges together. (The bottom dough will still be warm, but you should be able to pinch it.)
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 more minutes, or until the pizza dough is cooked through.
  7. Prepare the veggies.
  8. Serve Skillet Calzone with veggies.
