Cajun Calzone
This is a calzone with a Cajun twist. Spicy sausage and seasonings add distinctive flavor to this welcome variation of a favorite. The creamy mozzarella provides a mellow counterpoint to the spicy flavors.

Cornmeal, as needed
1 tbsp. olive oil
6 oz. andouille sausage
1 bell pepper, cut into strips
1 onion, sliced
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
8 oz. mozzarella, diced
Steps
