15 Best Burgers, Dogs and BBQ Favorites

Take the guess work out of planning your next summer cookout or potluck with these recipes for the 15 best burgers, dogs and BBQ favorites!

 

I have no trouble coming up with salads and side dishes when planning a party, but sometimes I can’t decide what to make for the main course.

That’s why I asked some of my favorite bloggers for their suggestions. I was blown away by what they came up with!

(And guess what? They’re all vegan!)

But even if you don’t follow a plant-based diet, these recipes are all perfect for Meatless Monday or just a change of pace when you want to eat a little lighter and healthier.

I like to serve a variety of salads and dips to go along with these entrees.

One of my favorites for warm weather is Summer Hearts of Palm Salad.

And I highly recommend making a big bowl of guacamole for people to munch on while the main course is on the grill.

Planning your summer cookout is easy with these 15 veggie burgers, hot dogs, and barbecue recipes!

I also love Chipotle Lentil Burgers from Dianne’s Vegan Kitchen. Just look at that sauce!
