I should call these Shish Kebacon! What a fun and different way to make an ordinary Chicken or Beef Shish Kabob into something fun and unique!
I’m all about fun and interesting spins on an old favorite. This old favorite comes out of an old church cookbook. It’s one of our family’s favorite grilled dinners. The kids love finding their favorite parts of the kabob, and the stuff they don’t want…well, they just push it over to my plate! I’m perfectly fine with that, because I love everything about these!
Here’s the recipe to this delicious Shish Kabob:
