Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 package (8 ounces) sliced provolone cheese
1 tablespoon Schnucks olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms
1 bag (5 to 6 ounces) baby spinach
1 can (2.25 ounces) Schnucks sliced ripe black olives, drained
1 tablespoon Schnucks tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie with nonstick aluminum foil. Remove pizza dough from tube; unroll dough on center of cookie sheet. With fingertips, press dough into 13 x 9-inch rectangle. Cut dough vertically in half to make 2 smaller rectangles. Place provolone slices all over dough, overlapping slightly and leaving 1/2-inch border around edges of dough.
  2. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot; add onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add spinach and cook until spinach wilts and liquid evaporates, stirring constantly. Stir in olives, tomato paste, salt and pepper.
  3. With slotted spoon, spread spinach mixture over half of provolone slices on each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges of dough. Fold other half of dough over filling; pinch edges together to seal.
  4. Cut 2 slits in top of each calzone to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Let calzones stand 5 minutes. With serrated knife, cut each calzone into 4 slices to serve.

Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 12 minutes
Makes: 36 cups

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon Schnucks vegetable oil
1/2 small onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 package (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning
1 garlic clove, crushed with press
1-1/4 cups Schnucks finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated golden-layer-style biscuits
sour cream, guacamole, chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high; add ground beef and taco seasoning and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking up meat with side of spoon. Add garlic to skillet and cook 1 minute longer. Remove skillet from heat. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.

  2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Separate 10 biscuits into 3 or 4 layers to yield 36 layers. Press biscuit layers into 36 mini-muffin pan cups. Spoon beef mixture in cups, about 2 teaspoons per cup. Bake taco cups 8 minutes. Remove cups from oven; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese melts.
