8 ounce sausage, browned and drained

Thaw rolls. Cook sausage and mix all other ingredients except sauce in a big pot over med heat. Once dough is thawed, roll out and place filling in the middle of each roll. Close up calzone, pinching the seams and place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Dip in sauce.
