Easy Saucy Meatball Kabobs Recipe
You are not even going to believe how good these simple meatball kabobs are made with ready to cook meatballs from the grocer’s freezer case, but trust me they are delicious and they make a great choice anytime you are firing up the grill or when planning a kid-friendly outdoor party. Just 5 ingredients, so they are easy on the budget as well.
Whether you are hosting a cookout, looking for an easy meal for a camping trip, treating the kids to a fun dinner idea, or just trying to create a quick dinner option on a busy day, these kabobs are a great choice. The sauce is made of your favorite BBQ sauce blended with apricot preserves and since the meatballs are fully cooked, they go from grill to table quickly
This is a regular on my summer menu because I always have the ingredients on hand. Extra tip- if you have teenagers, make extra. I have filled my entire grill with these kabobs and had zero leftovers when my son and his friends were over. Plus, it is different and a better option than pizza – great for racking up “you have a cool mom” points!
