Game Day Skewers

Hey there! Who's loving this balmy weather?! I mean, after a week of the Polar Vortex, we considered busting out the swimsuits! Ok, maybe not quite, but man does it feel good. I was hoping to get this post out a little sooner, but what can I say.....we were enjoying the fresh air and having fun with bubbles!

I realize this post is very last minute for Super Bowl Sunday, but I promise it's super easy and has just THREE ingredients! (So yes, you can go through the express lane at Hy-Vee, even if you need to add a case of beer;)) Enjoy the warm weather, friends, football and FOOD tomorrow!! ~Kelsey

Game Day Skewers

Servings -10 skewers - This is the winning recipe for game day.....with just 3 ingredients, it's easy to make and super easy to enjoy!

Ingredients

4. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. Flip the skewers and brush barbeque sauce on the skewers.

More Options

-You'll probably want to make a couple batches of these....they're just that good!
-Use any kind of barbeque sauce you like.  We are big-time Sweet Baby Ray fans, but any kind will do!
-If you want smaller bite-size appetizers (rather than a full skewer), simply wrap a meatball with ½ slice of bacon, secure with a toothpick and bake that way.  Remove the toothpick before serving.
