The Big Game is this weekend which means it’s time to get your food prepared. This year, we are having tailgating food for dinner and I’ve been trying to think of something out of the ordinary to serve.
Last week, we had spaghetti & meatballs for dinner and I had a thought – Spaghetti & Meatball Kabobs! I had no idea if it would work, but it sounded fun!
They turned out so much better than I could have expected! So we scrapped the meal plan on the day I tested these and had Spaghetti & Meatball Kabobs instead. They kids thought it these little appetizers were so much fun.
Here’s the baked meatball recipe I use.
Meatball Recipe:
- 1 lb. hamburger meat
- chopped onion
- 10 crackers (saltine, Ritz, your choice) – crumbled
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- dash of cayenne pepper
To make the Kabobs:
Twirl a few strands of cooked spaghetti on a fork. Push the spaghetti off the fork and onto a plate. Using a pick, stick a meatball. Slide the spaghetti twirl onto the pick. Serve with a side of sauce!
I will definitely be serving Spaghetti & Meatball Kabobs at our Big Game party!
**Special thanks to Jen at TheSuburbanMom.com for the picks!

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says
That is soooo stinking cute! And, it prevents the kids from thinking they can twirl their own noodles (which usually results in a huge mess!)
