Mini Sausage Calzones

I forgot to take a picture of these before freezing them, but we didn't forget to taste them--they are delicious! I found this recipe on food.com. You and your kids will love them!! To freeze, prepare them completely; cool and then wrap each individually in saran wrap and foil and place in a labeled ziploc bag. When you are ready to serve from the freezer, thaw and reheat for 10 minutes or until heated through. Easy!
