Recipe: Grilled Meatball Kebabs
Here’s a dinner you can make with three ingredients (or four ingredients, if you count the smoky hint from the grill). Use your favorite purchased meatballs, your favorite barbecue sauce, and a few sweet bell peppers to make this meal in 15 minutes. You can probably do it in 10 if you really hustle.
Frozen meatballs work like a dream here. Once the meatballs are thawed enough to easily thread onto a skewer, these kebabs are basically ready for the grill. I like to do chunks of red, yellow, or orange bell pepper to complement the sweetness of the barbecue sauce.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 1
bag precooked meatballs, thawed (about 30 (1-inch) meatballs)
- 1 cup
BBQ sauce (purchased or homemade)
- 2
medium red, orange, and/or yellow sweet bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
Alternate threading the thawed meatballs and bell pepper pieces onto soaked bamboo skewers or metal skewers, beginning and ending with the peppers. You should have about 4 to 5 meatballs per skewer.
Place on the grill over medium heat, brushing with BBQ sauce every minute or so and rotating until the meatballs are heated through and the peppers begin to lightly char. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes total.
