Steps
  1. Place meatballs in microwave-safe dish; cook on HIGH 2 minutes or until thawed, then cut in half. Peel and chop carrots; chop one-half onion and one-half bell pepper finely (½ cup each). Cut remaining half onion and bell pepper into 1-inch pieces for skewers.

Thread with middle part of dough strip, then add onion, pepper, and meatball; finish with top part of dough strip. Place on baking sheet; repeat with remaining skewers.
