Grilled Bacon Cheeseburger Calzones

Ingredients

• 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more
• extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
• 3/4 lb ground beef
• 4 slices bacon
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• salt
• 2 plum tomatoes, chopped

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat a grill to medium-high. Divide the pizza dough and form into 2 balls. Place in a large bowl greased with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.

4. 4

   Add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes; add to the beef.

5. 5

   Crumble the bacon into the beef mixture and stir in the cheese; season with salt.

6. 6

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 ball of dough into a 12-inch round and transfer to a large oiled baking sheet. Place half the beef mixture on one side of the round.

7. 7

   Top with half the tomatoes. Fold over the dough to form a half moon; crimp the edge to seal.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining dough. Brush the calzones with olive oil.

9. 9

   Pierce a vent in the top of each calzone. Transfer the baking sheet to the grill, cover and bake until golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
