Ride 'Em Cowboy

The next recipe I tried last week while cooking with The Pioneer Woman was the Cowboy Calzone.

I have to tell you, go right now, I don't care if you are at work or school, go right this second buy the cookbook and the ingredients to make these calzones. You won't regret it. It's worth every second you might miss a paycheck or homework.

These tasty pockets are easy and heaven. ALL IN ONE!

They call for the pizza dough recipe that is also in the book and this one deserves a post all on it's own, so look for that!

But look at these golden delicious mounds! Aren't they to die for?
Oh, you don't even know. Well you know if you've tried them, but if you haven't GO NOW! I wasn't joking!


This one is more triangular, but the size and shape DO NOT MATTER! It's the taste that will blow you away.



If you haven't already gone to get those items, you will want to now that you see the inside. See that sausage and ground beef and cheese... oh heavenly cheese!!


Really this was one of the best I've tried and I'm serious when I say that the crust is SUPER! You'll hear more later, I swear.



Daddy, Mommy & Girlie all gave this one
5 GOLDEN WHISKS
We really all loved it very much. And Nannie gives it 5 whisks too, it was the first one she was able to try as she had been at a corporate meeting.
REMAKE? You better make these again or I'll smack ya!


The Good: That dough, I could have only eaten it and been settled for dinner. WOW! I made the dough the night before and put it into the refridgerator immediately. I pulled it out the next evening to make dinner and it was PERFECT! Made dinner a breeze!


The Bad (not really): NOTHING! I can't think of one bad thing, except to say that I'm the type of person that after I make something I don't really want to eat much of it. I only ate 1/2 of these but we had leftovers. The BAD thing is that hubby took them to work and shared them and well they raved and raved and raved!! I was worried about the Ricotta as I'm not usually a fan but seriously it was, well, YUM!


The Ugly: The ugly truth is that I'll probably be making these again in the next week. I hope the family really did like them that well! And that pizza dough I've commented on, well it's being made again tonight.

This was one of my favs.
STAY TUNED!!! Tomorrow THE BEST RECIPE SO FAR!!!!
It made me famous... just sayin!

Misty,
You have to get the cookbook, you won't be sorry. Buy it at amazon and save like $10-12 on it over Target, etc.
The cowboy calzones are great! The crust is amazing! I'm glad you are liking the reviews!
