1/2 c. sugar
2 c. zesty sauce
2 c. water
1 c. vinegar
4 tbsp. French's mustard
1 med. onion, sliced
1 tsp. salt
5 dashes hot sauce
1 box dried onion soup

Bring to a boil; simmer 20 minutes. Cool. Put in 3 1/2 pound stew beef. Marinate overnight in refrigerator. On shish kabob sticks alternate meat, bacon, cherry tomato (or chunks of tomato), small whole onion, green pepper pieces, mushrooms, canned whole potato and pineapple chunks. Barbeque fairly slowly. Mushrooms and potatoes or any other ingredients of your choice are also good if left in marinade for awhile.
