BBQ Pineapple and Pork Kabobs

BBQ Pineapple and Pork Kabobs

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs pork loin chops, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
2 large cans of pineapple chunks with juice (or 1 ripe, fresh pineapple)
4 large green or red bell peppers (or both), cut into large chunks
10 large mushrooms (optional), halved
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 TBSP onion powder
2 TBSP garlic powder
2 TBSP black pepper


DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat your BBQ ready and get it ready!
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
  • Alternate pieces of pork, pineapple, peppers, and mushrooms on the kebobs. Metal skewers are the best to use. If you're using wood skewers, be sure to soak them ahead of time in water so they don't burn!
  • Grill for approximately 30 minutes on low-medium heat (approximately 350 degrees F. if you have a thermometer on your BBQ). Use a meat thermometer to be sure meat is thoroughly cooked.

I'm in love with my Veggetti. I had debated ordering one of those fancy and expensive vegetable spiralizer tools. Then one day, as luck would have it, I found the Veggetti at Walgreens. I figured it was worth $14.99 to try it. Plus, if I didn't like it, I'd return it. Well, I kept it and I use it often. Here's an easy and quick recipe I use as a side dish or under a delicious piece of grilled chicken.

Perfectly Un-Perfect Turkey Meatloaf Burgers

I made these and they are SO YUMMY!  If you're wondering why I'm calling them "Perfectly Un-Perfect", it's because I didn't measure the ingredients and I don't regret a thing! I've made these many times and never measure. And EVERY time they come out perfect!!



So here's my estimates on the ingredients (use more or less at your discretion):
