Tasteful Tuesday

Today's recipes are in honor of my sister who just had a baby and called to say that she has missed my tasteful tuesday's because she always made what I posted that day. (Congrats Keri!) Since she will be short on time and energy, I am sharing 2 recipes that come together quickly with minimal ingredients and prep time. The Caramelized Beef Skewers are so yummy and who doesn't like eating their food on a stick?! The Sausage Chili is a new one to me and I won a prize at our recent chili cook-off for it. I think it is one of my husband's new favorites. I also posted a new pumpkin favorite that would be FANTASTIC for Thanksgiving on the recipe blog.

Caramelized Beef Skewers

1 lb steak, cut into strips (I usually use a london broil and cut it thin)

1/4 cup A1 sauce

1/4 cup barbeque sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon or spicy brown mustard

Marinate meat in 2 Tablespoons A1 sauce for 10 minutes or up to 24 hours. (I usually marintae it for 2-3 hours) Combine the rest of the A1 sauce with the barbeque sauce and mustard. Thread onto skewers and cook on grill for about 6 minutes, turning after 3 minutes. Serve immediately
