Meet the Cook: I still remember the first time I served these colorful kabobs - my family was thrilled to find a surprise in the tasty meatballs. Since I make them often, I sometimes substitute different vegetables or cheeses for variety. -Kristen Wondra, Hudson, Kansas

These skewers are a great way to use up leftover [meatballs](https://menuofrecipes.com/classic-homemade-meatballs-319727/). I had some leftover [Swedish meatballs](https://menuofrecipes.com/swedish-meatballs-319774/) and they worked perfectly in this

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, but I loved these skewers. The bell peppers were cooked perfectly and they didn't overpower the meatballs.

The meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably add more moisture to the meatballs next time, maybe by using ground chicken or turkey instead of beef.
