2 Delicious Kabob Recipes For Summertime Grilling

During the hot summer months, my husband and I do a lot of our family dinners out on the backyard barbecue grill. One of our favorite things to make are homemade kabobs because they are easy, and they use up the fresh vegetables from our garden.

Tip: If you are using wooden skewers, you will want to soak them in some water for 5-10 minutes before threading on your meats and vegetables. Soaking them will help to keep them from catching on fire during the grilling process.

Here are 2 of our favorite recipes that we like to make.

Beef and Vegetable Kabobs

12 (1" thick) cubes of cooked lean beef
12 cherry tomatoes
12 large mushroom caps
5 green peppers, quartered
12 broccoli florets
4 medium onions, quartered
6 slices bacon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons butter

Alternate beef cubes and vegetables on 6 skewers with a bacon strip on each. Melt butter in a small saucepan, add salt and pepper. Brush each kabob with butter. Place your kabobs on a grill about 5" away from the heat until the vegetables and bacon are browned. You will want to flip over your kabobs once during the grilling process.

Tex-Mex Pork Kabobs

4 boneless pork chops cut into 1" cubes
4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1/2 green pepper, seeded and cut into 1" pieces
1/2 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1" pieces

Note: If you like them hot and spicy, you can substitute the green pepper with some hot jalapeno peppers.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cubed pork pieces with your desired seasoning until the cubes are evenly coated. Thread the cubes onto your skewers, alternating with green pepper and onion pieces. Place the kabobs onto the grill about 5" away from the heat and grill until the pork is cooked and no longer pink.
