Picnic Kabobs
Description
These Picnic Kabobs are a nostalgic classic that brings hearty, savory flavors to your grill. The ground beef mixture is bound with oats for a tender texture and wrapped around stuffed olives for a surprising burst of flavor in every bite. Alternating the meatballs with juicy tomato wedges, crisp green peppers, and earthy mushrooms creates a perfectly balanced skewer that is both visually appealing and deeply satisfying. This dish is ideal for summer picnics, backyard barbecues, or any casual gathering where easy-to-eat finger food is king. The tangy French dressing glaze adds a zesty finish that complements the rich meat and smoky char from the broiler or grill. Simple to assemble and quick to cook, these kabobs are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, oats, egg, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato sauce. Mix thoroughly until just combined.
-
Divide the meat mixture into 18 equal portions. Shape each portion around a stuffed olive to form a meatball, ensuring the olive is fully enclosed.
-
Cut tomatoes into 16 wedges. Cut green peppers into 16 pieces.
-
Thread the ingredients onto six 12-inch metal skewers in this order: 3 meatballs, 2 tomato wedges, 2 green pepper pieces, 1 potato, and 1 mushroom. Repeat as needed to fill skewers.
-
Ensure the skewers pass through the center of the olives inside the meatballs to secure them in place.
-
Brush the kabobs generously with French dressing.
-
Place kabobs in a preheated broiler or over hot grill coals, positioned about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Cook for 8 minutes.
-
Turn the kabovers and brush with additional French dressing.
-
Cook for 4 minutes longer, or until the beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
