Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1.5 lb ground beef
3/4 c oats, uncooked
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 c tomato sauce
18 medium stuffed green olives
4 medium tomatoes, quartered
2 green peppers, cut in eighths
8 small potatoes, cooked
8 button mushrooms
french dressing

Steps:

1. Combine ground beef, oats, egg, salt, worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce thoroughly.
2. Shape meat mixture around olives to form 18 meat balls.
3. Alternate 3 meat balls, 2 tomato wedges, 2 green pepper pieces, 1 potato and 1 mushroom on six 12-inch metal skewers (to be sure meat balls stay on skewers, thread through the olives in the center).

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your kabobs will taste. Look for brightly colored vegetables, tender meats, and flavorful marinades.
Cut your ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For vegetables, cut them into 1-inch pieces. For meats, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to mix and match different vegetables, meats, and marinades. This will create a more flavorful and interesting kabob.
Marinate your kabobs: Marinating your kabobs will help them stay moist and flavorful. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more elaborate marinade.
Cook your kabobs over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. If you're cooking your kabobs on a grill, preheat the grill to medium heat before adding the kabobs.
Turn your kabobs frequently: This will help them cook evenly on all sides. Use tongs to turn the kabobs every few minutes.
Don't overcook your kabobs: Overcooked kabobs will be dry and tough. Cook them until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Conclusion:

Kabobs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a summer meal. They're perfect for picnics, potlucks, or backyard barbecues. With a little planning and preparation, you can create flavorful and impressive kabobs that everyone will love. So fire up your grill and get grilling!
