tailgate food

Tailgating food is the incredible art of eating and drinking as much as possible before an important sports event. This could be in the parking lot outside the stadium, or at someone’s house for pre-drinks. It nearly always involves alcohol for drinks, but what about food? Delicious food makes sure you stay fueled all day and makes the day that more enjoyable.

We’ve prepared a list of easy tailgating foods that can be prepared the day before or even on the same day, if you’re willing to get up extra early.

 

Easy tailgate food

1. Cajun Sausage Puffs With Bourbon Mustard

Some packaged puff pastry and these Cajun Sausage Puffs are easily put together. An upgraded version of pigs in a blanket and unbelievably easy to prepare. Get the recipe at Country Living.

 

2. Bee’s Knees Shandy

Want something even more refreshing than beer? A gin-based cocktail including the beer of your choice. Incredibly cool and refreshing. Get the recipe at Country Living.

 

3. Chunky Guacamole

Instead of a big bowl of green mush, why not mix these ingredients together to create… chunky guacamole? Chips and guac is everyone’s favorite – especially now that you can easily eat it in chunks. Get the recipe at Gimme Some Oven.
