Ingredients:

2 pounds boneless pork chops, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
2 tbsp dried red pepper flakes
1 tbsp fennel seed
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

24 (6-inch) wooden skewers (soak in water for 30 minutes before using)

Directions:

Place pork cubes in resealable plastic bag; add salad dressing, red pepper flakes and fennel seed. Seal bag; refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight to marinate pork. When ready to cook, thread pork, peppers and onion on skewers. Discard marinade. Place kabobs on greased broiler pan and broil 5 inches from heat, or grill over medium-hot coals, for about 5 minutes per side.

Tailgate Tip: If tailgating at the stadium, thread pork and vegetables on skewers at home, and store in plastic containers in a portable cooler until ready to grill.
