BBQ Sausage Brochettes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

BBQ Sauce

 

Brochettes

  • 4 8-inch to 12-inch skewers (bamboo or metal)
  • 2 pounds Black Bear® Ring Bologna, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 pound Black Bear® Gourmet Imported Bacon, cut into 2-inch strips
  • 2 medium onions, cut into large pieces
  • 2 large bell peppers, cut into large pieces
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

Prepare the Skewers: To make the skewers, soak 4 bamboo skewers (8 to 12 inches long) in water for about 30 minutes. (You can skip this step by using metal skewers.)

Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a simmer over low heat.  Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Remove from heat and allow to cool. 

Make the Brochettes: Make each brochette by placing a piece of ring bologna, then a strip of bacon, then the onion, then the pepper. Repeat until you have used four pieces of ring bologna, three strips of bacon, three pieces of onion and three pieces of pepper.  Repeat with the other three skewers.

Lightly salt and pepper each skewer, brush with a bit of vegetable oil and let marinate for 1 hour.

Place on the grill over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes per side.  Brush generously with the BBQ sauce as they cook.

Remove and serve immediately.
