Ingredients for the Meat Kabobs…

To make these meat kabobs you’ll need 6 thick slices of bacon.  The recipe also calls for ½ pound of breakfast sausage links cut into 1 inch pieces.  The third meat is 1-inch cubed ham!!

For the glaze you’ll use a cup of your favorite store-bought barbeque sauce.  Mix in 3 Tablespoons apple jelly, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.  That’s it!!

Making the kabobs…

I use 12” bamboo skewers to make the kabobs.  Metal skewers would work great too!  This recipe makes 6 kabobs, so you’ll need 6 skewers!!

I start by placing a cube of ham on the skewer to act as the “anchor” for the rest of the meat.  Push it about an inch or two down.

Then you’ll be “threading” on the bacon, alternating with sausage and ham.

Keep pushing the meat down as you go until it reaches about 2 inches from the end.  This will leave you a little handle to pick up the kabob.

Load up all 6 skewers with the ham, bacon, and sausage bits.

Place the kabobs on a rack that has been placed atop a foil lined baking sheet.  A metal cooling rack works fine, as long as it’s not plastic-coated!

Making the glaze and baking the kabobs…

In a small saucepan mix 1 cup barbeque sauce, 3 tablespoons apple jelly, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.  Stir over medium heat until the jelly is all melted into the barbeque sauce.

Brush  the glaze over both sides of the meat kabobs.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees.  Every 10 minutes reapply glaze to the meat.  You’ll want to bake them until the bacon begins to crisp up a bit on the edges, then you’ll know it’s done!!

These kabobs are a great addition to a brunch menu!  They’re fun and taste delicious!!  And pair really well with Crème Brule French Toast!

We also like to serve them as an easy supper with a can of beans and some fries!!  They are sooo yummy!!

Enjoy!!
