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
-1 (26 oz) bag of 1/2-ounces meatballs, thawed
-10 strips thick sliced bacon
-1 cup barbeque sauce
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Soak wooden skewers.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray.
3. Build the skewer – start with the bacon, then alternate with a meatball, bacon, meatball, etc., until there are 5 meatballs on the skewer. (See photo above)
4. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. Flip the skewers and brush barbeque sauce on the skewers.
6. Bake 5 minutes.
7. Flip the skewers and brush with barbeque sauce so there is sauce on all sides of the meatballs.
8. Bake an additional 5 minutes.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
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 1/2 slice of bacon, secure with a toothpick and bake that way. Remove the toothpick before serving.
I would like to make these. Are the meatballs precooked or raw? I wanmeatballs and I am not familiar with store bought bags.
Thank you
They’re precooked! You should be able to find them in the freezer section at the grocery store.
Could these be made and placed in a crockpot to be eaten a couple hours later?
Hi Tanya – I’ve never tried that, so I’m not sure. I’m thinking if you put them on “warm” in the slow cooker it should be okay. Let me know if you give it a try! ~Kelsey
