There’s a reason why football is America’s most popular sport and it’s not just because people like to watch big fellows knock the stuffing out of one another. Football fans love tailgating. There’s nothing like gorging yourself on loads of comfort food before watching a rowdy bunch of fans rooting for their beloved teams. 

Since  the CFL, NCAA and NFL seasons have all kicked off, we decided to include the yummiest football dishes in today’s 10-for-30 Top 10 list! Now remember, you don’t have to actually be at a stadium to tailgate, for the comfort of your own living room will do just nicely. 

The Top 10 Football Tailgate Foods! 

1. Middle Eastern Platter
Hummus, babaghanoush and tabbouleh. The trifecta of taste. Don’t forget the warm pita bread!

2. Pizza Muffins
Easy, quick and oh so yummy. Even non-vegan folks will steal a few.Oh, we just so happen to have video, that features a very handsome man making vegan pizza muffins. 

3. Franks in a Sleeping Bag
We recommend Field Roast with your favorite vegan pastry dough. They go great with a garlic aioli dipping sauce.

4. Sausage and Peppers Heroes
Whether you use Torfurky or another brand, everyone loves them wedged in a crusty roll. Check out our recipe for our “Sauseech ‘n Peppahz” here!

5. Chili
This Fall/Winter classic will warm your bones, especially if you’re a Green Bay Packers or Buffalo Bills fan. 

 

Carm made this chili on Monday. It’s delicious, especially with that biscuit! Recipe to come soon!

6. Vegan Beer
No tailgate would be complete without throwing back a few cold ones. Barnivore lists copious amounts of vegan beers to choose from.

7. Brownies
‘Nuff said!

8. Any Vegan Thing on a Stick & Under a Flame
Kebabs, marshmallows, or corndogs are just a few things that will make you the envy of Section 47.

9. Bruschetta
Easy to make and delish. Make sure it goes atop the best vegan Italian bread you can find.

10. Buffalo ANYTHING (especially “wings”) 
Whether you prefer seitan, tempeh or cauliflower, it wouldn’t be a tailgate without these fan favs.
