GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED
Laura’s Lean Beef Company, America’s most successful naturally-raised, lean beef company, began as one woman’s quest to eat healthier food and save the family farm. Started in the mid-1980s by Laura Freeman, a seventh generation Kentucky cattle farmer, Laura’s Lean Beef is now sold in more than 6,500 stores in 47 states. Several hundred farmers provide beef for the company, agreeing to strict requirements regarding feed and herd management.
Unlike traditional beef raised by industrial methods, Laura’s Lean Beef cattle are not given hormones to speed growth or antibiotics to counter overcrowded, stressful farm and feedlot conditions. The beef achieves its leanness naturally, through the selection of cattle breeds and a feed program based on grazing and natural feeds. Laura’s Lean Beef does not add fillers, additives, or water and salt.
Laura’s Lean Beef has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, one of the most widely recognized and prestigious emblems in the world of consumer goods, for its entire family of products.
Hubby the Hubster LOVES Laura’s Lean Beef! He’s been a fan for quite a while now. He tends to have high cholesterol so I am very careful about what type of meat I purchase for him. He was quite happy to use our Laura’s Lean Beef $5 vouchers towards the purchase Laura’s 96% Lean Ground Sirloin. It’s very versatile! I can form it into patties, use it in recipes and it’s lean!

Easy Beef Calzones
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 pound Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices, halved
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
Directions
1. Cook beef and next 3 ingredients in a large skillet, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink. Add Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; drain and remove from heat.
2. Divide dough evenly into 4 pieces; pat each dough piece into one square. Spoon beef mixture evenly onto each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top evenly with cheese.
3. Fold dough over filling until edges almost meet. Bring bottom edge over top edge; crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
4. Bake at 450F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve topped with marinara sauce.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Cooking Tip: Lightly brush calzones with olive oil before placing in the oven for a nice golden color and crisp texture.
