Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 medium Red Onion diced very finely
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Monterrey Jack Cheese coarsely shredded
  • 1 Zucchini Squash cut into 1.5" cubes
  • 1-2 Red Bell Pepper cut into 1" pieces
  • 1-2 Yellow Bell Pepper cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 Red Onion cut into 1" pieces
  • 4 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the Meatballs except for the cheese. Mix until well combined. Separate into 9 meatballs of approximately even weight. (This is very important so that the meatballs all cook in the same time on the grill.)
  • Working with 1 meatball at a time, flatten it out into a large disc. Add a small amount of shredded cheese to the center of the disc. Carefully roll the sides up until the disc is again shaped like a round meatball.
  • Thread meatballs, zucchini, peppers, and onions onto 6 skewers.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the Herb Mixture in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Place kabobs on grill, and brush the veggies with approximately half of the Herb Mixture. Grill over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes.
  • Rotate kabobs, and brush the veggies with remaining Herb Mixture. Continue grilling for another 5-6 minutes, or until meatballs are done.

Notes

Food Safety Tip: Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F degrees.
