These sound good... and "mealuffins" is just fun to say.  -- Lisa |

Penny,
Not much. I like both. I think of calzones as bigger. These are more snack size.

Scott, what's the difference between your recipe and calzones?

Mealuffins - Pizza muffins

8 golf ball size portions of pizza dough (any bread dough will do, even frozen dough)
8 oz baby spinach or a frozen box with most of the water squeezed out.
2 sausages diced
4 cloves of garlic diced
2 tablespoons olive oil or any oil you have on hand.
1/2 cup ricotta
1/2 cup mozzarella
1/2 cup marinara sauce (I used a little more)
1 tablespoon of milk
1 egg
Preheat oven to 375.
In a frying pan, over medium heat, cook sausage in garlic and olive oil. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Roll out 8 pieces of pizza dough into 5 inch diameter disks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Grease muffin tin. Place each disk into individual muffin tins. In each dough-lined cup, put 1 tablespoon marinara. Then place 2 tablespoons of sausage spinach mixture, 1 tablespoon ricotta, and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Seal up the dough, it may not look pretty, but who cares. (I let it rise for 30 min. or so.)
Mix together egg and milk. Brush the egg wash mixture on each mealuffin.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until outside is golden brown. Serve with extra marinara if desired.
These freeze well and reheat well in the oven (the best) or microwave.
I have used left over taco meat with some salsa and mexican blend cheese. They were good (I have put a tablespoon of sour cream instead of ricotta - both work).
A Ruben type worked, corn beef, sour kraut, swiss cheese and a little 1000 island.
These are great when you are hungry but don't want to make a whole meal.
