Here is a very simple recipe for a Cheeseburger Calzone that tastes very very close to a McDonalds cheeseburger. But the great thing is that you can control the fat by using low fat ingredients.
You will need to start with a pound of extra lean hamburger. Brown it and then drain the fat off. YOu may also want to rinse it off to get all the fat off. Then add about 1/3 cup ketschup and a few tablespoons of mustard. Stir in half of a small onion that has been diced very very finely. And add in some pickles that are also diced finely. You can add as many pickles as you see fit.
Next, you want to lay out a French bread load that you buy in the refrigerator section of the store and place the meat mixture on half of the bread, then top with cheese slices. Fold over the rest of the dough and pinch to seal. Place a few holes in the top, then bake at 350 degrees until it is golden brown. This is a very good calzone.
