Brown beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
-
Open pizza crust package and slice it into 2 or 3 sections, depending on your appetite.
-
Stretch out the dough sections slightly to thin them out and create more room for the filling.

Layer the fillings on each dough section starting with ground beef, followed by mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and spinach.
-
Wrap the dough around the filling, making sure to seal the edges tightly.
-
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Tips:
-
To ensure the calzones hold their shape while baking, wrap the crust around the filling so that all four sides overlap on top.
-
If you’re worried about the bottom falling out, flip the calzones over so they bake on the overlapping sections, which will help seal them shut.
-
Don’t worry if you notice any thin spots in the dough before baking. You can easily patch them up by pulling dough off the thicker areas and pressing it over the thin spots.
