Looking for a quick dinner or party snack than look no further than these loaded Italian sausage skewers.  It’s deliciously savory, crunchy and gooey.  With only 4 ingredients, this is a fan favorite.

Slice up the veggies.

This recipe requires very little prep time.  Pick 3 colorful bell peppers and a yellow onion.  Slice the veggies up and throw them into a cast iron or foil pan.  Season with Italian seasoning, add some butter and let these sauté over indirect heat at 350 degrees. 

Cook for about 10 minutes until the peppers soften up but still have a little crunch to them. Remove off the grill and set aside.

Time to grill the Loaded Italian Sausage skewers.

Now that you have the veggies out of the way, time to get the Italian sausage going.  Skewer together 5-6 raw sausages.  Make sure to tightly compact them together as this will be the base for the cheese and veggies.  Using 2 skewers, punch them through on opposite ends to keep the links sturdy.  I highly recommend using metal skewers vs. wooden. If your only option is wood, then soak them in water for 10-15 minutes before putting on the grill.

First start grilling the sausages on the direct side to get a nice sear and some color on both sides.  This will take 2-3 minutes per side.  Next, move them to the indirect side and it’s time to load them up.

Start with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.  Add in the sautéed peppers and onions and top with a little bit more cheese.  Grill until the internal temperature of the Italian sausages reach 165 degrees.

Before removing the skewers, slice down the middle.  This doubles the amount of servings.  These loaded Italian sausage skewers are great for tailgates or just having some friends over.  Enjoy!
