SAUSAGE AND BACON KABOBS

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Cook bacon pieces in a microwave oven for about 1 minute, or pan fry until the edges begin to curl but the bacon is still flexible. Drain well.
• Cut each sausage into 5 pieces.
• Thread an end piece of sausage onto skewer followed by a piece of bacon, onion, bell pepper, and another piece of bacon. Repeat using center sausage pieces and finishing with end piece (center sausage pieces will be "sandwiched" between bacon). Repeat with remaining skewers and sausages.
• Place skewers on hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (16 to 20 minutes total).
• Meanwhile, squeeze the orange juice into the BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Brush kabobs with BBQ sauce with each turn. Serve hot with orange slices or wedges.
• INDOOR: Prepare kebabs as directed. Preheat broiler. Place kebabs on wire rack over foil lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Place under broiler 4 to 6 inches from heat source and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Brush with BBQ sauce with each turn.

SAUSAGE GRAVY WITH BACON

Steps:

• Fry the diced bacon until slightly crisp, pour out bacon and grease and set aside until later.
• Fry the sausage in the same dutch oven until browned, adding a little of the pepper to the sausage as it cooks.
• Add the bacon grease and 1/4th of the bacon to the cooked sausage. Cook on low and add the butter until melted. Add the flour and season salt. Cook for 3 minutes to get rid of the flour taste. Stirring constantly.
• Heat to medium, slowly add the milk, only enough at a time so it doesn't get too runny. Add the rest of the bacon.
• Add the salt and pepper for your taste. I believe the more pepper the better. The longer this simmers the more flavor it has. This is great with biscuits, hashbrowns or chicken fried steak.
• I always divide the gravy into plastic bowls enough for 1 meal and freeze for another day.
