Brat Kabobs Or Beef Kabobs
Flavorful kabobs featuring savory sausage or beef paired with fresh vegetables, perfect for grilling and sharing at casual gatherings or family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Skewer the sausage or beef along with cherry tomatoes, green peppers, and chunks of large white Spanish onion.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the skewered ingredients with barbecue sauce.
- Grill the kabobs for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a delicious twist, try using chicken or shrimp instead of brat or beef; they grill quickly and absorb flavors well. If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding jalapeño slices to the skewers. Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the kabobs hot off the grill with extra barbecue sauce for dipping. They pair wonderfully with sides like Lucy'S Coleslaw or a fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the meat. For a complete meal, consider serving with grilled corn on the cob.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through, or microwave in short intervals until warm.
