I made this recipe but I did it using Pillsbury premade pizza dough (soo good by the way), without the bbq sauce and added mushrooms...thanks for an awesome idea!!! P.S. I LOVE recipes that are amazing as they are or that can be changed and varied by taste so definitely kudos to you.

I've been making this since my daughter was first born. Simple, yet tasty!

This was a fun way to eat cheeseburgers! I slipped some pickles and chopped tomatoes in as well. I made my own crescent roll dough and rolled it out for individual calzones. Thanks for sharing!

I give it 3 stars because for me your instructions were not clear as to the folding. I made it, though, as awful as it looked. :) It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't great either. I could make it again and wouldn't mind, you know? Maybe I'll try a different bbq sauce next time. I used a honey bbq sauce and it was a bit overwhelming for this recipe. Maybe you should specify which bbq sauce you use. Thanks for something different, though!
