Description
Cowboy Butter Kielbasa and Potato Skewers are a savory, smoky, and buttery grilled favorite packed with juicy sausage, tender potatoes, sweet corn, and vibrant veggies. Each skewer is basted with a zesty cowboy butter that brings bold flavor to every bite—perfect for backyard BBQs, family dinners, or meal-prep nights.
Ingredients
14 ounces kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1-inch coins
1 pound baby potatoes, halved if large
2 ears corn, sliced into 1-inch rounds
1 large zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
1 large onion, cut into chunks
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Slice kielbasa, zucchini, and onion. Halve or leave baby potatoes whole depending on size. Cut corn into thick rounds.
2. Parboil potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool slightly.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Thread ingredients onto skewers in alternating pattern: potato, sausage, corn, zucchini, onion.
5. Brush skewers generously with cowboy butter.
6. Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
7. Grill skewers 10–12 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Look for charred edges.
8. Drizzle with extra cowboy butter and lemon juice before serving. Garnish with more parsley if desired.
Notes
For the best results, don’t skip parboiling the potatoes—they’ll cook evenly and won’t fall off the skewers.
Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning.
Customize your veggie mix! Bell peppers and mushrooms also pair beautifully with cowboy butter.
