Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound jalapeño cheddar sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 12 to 15 cherry tomatoes, whole
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Honey Mustard Beer Dip:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons beer (preferably light lager or pilsner)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the jalapeño cheddar sausage into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red bell pepper into 1-inch squares and the red onion into wedges. Rinse and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using.
  2. Thread the sausage, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers in a repeating pattern, aiming for 4-5 pieces per skewer.
  3. Place the skewers in a mixing bowl or tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C). Brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the skewers for about 5 minutes per side, turning once, until the sausage is browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C) and vegetables are tender with grill marks.
  6. While the skewers cook, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, beer, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve the skewers warm on a platter alongside the honey mustard beer dip. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Keep an eye on cherry tomatoes to avoid mushiness. Turn skewers carefully with tongs every 4-5 minutes for even cooking. The honey mustard beer dip tastes better if made a few hours ahead and chilled. For indoor cooking, use a cast iron grill pan and watch closely to avoid burning.
