SAUSAGE AND BACON KABOBS

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Cook bacon pieces in a microwave oven for about 1 minute, or pan fry until the edges begin to curl but the bacon is still flexible. Drain well.
• Cut each sausage into 5 pieces.
• Thread an end piece of sausage onto skewer followed by a piece of bacon, onion, bell pepper, and another piece of bacon. Repeat using center sausage pieces and finishing with end piece (center sausage pieces will be "sandwiched" between bacon). Repeat with remaining skewers and sausages.
• Place skewers on hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (16 to 20 minutes total).
• Meanwhile, squeeze the orange juice into the BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Brush kabobs with BBQ sauce with each turn. Serve hot with orange slices or wedges.
• INDOOR: Prepare kebabs as directed. Preheat broiler. Place kebabs on wire rack over foil lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Place under broiler 4 to 6 inches from heat source and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Brush with BBQ sauce with each turn.

CHICKEN & SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Take 4 links of skinless smoked sausage (I like Ekrich) and slice it on an angle. Cut up the chicken to about the same size pieces as the sausage. Cut the french bread loaf longways down the middle, then slice the same size as the chicken & sauasge too. Skewer the kabobs as follows: bread, sausage, bay leaf, chicken. Baste the kabobs with extra-virgin olive and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place skewers on the hot grill and cook until golden brown, turning to get an even color all over. Baste with lemon juice as they cook.

MARINATED SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients.
• Add remaining ingredients, seal bag and turn to coat, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Drain and discard marinade.
• For each kabob, thread one piece each of cheese, olive, salami and pepper onto a toothpick.
• Note: preparation time does not include marinading time.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Mix pizza sauce, basil, and oil; reserve.
• Cook sausage pieces in 10-inch skillet over medium heat about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until partially cooked; drain.
• Thread sausage, zucchini and bell pepper pieces alternately on each of six 15-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each.
• Place olive on tip of each skewer.
• Cover and grill kabobs 5 to 6 inches from medium coals 20 to 25 minutes, turning and brushing 2 to 3 times with pizza sauce mixture, until sausage is done and vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Heat remaining pizza sauce mixture to boiling; serve with kabobs.
