Broncos Country, come hungry!

During the 2026 NFL season, fans at Empower Field at Mile High can take on a massive new game day snack called the “Beast in a Blanket.” And yes, it is exactly as wild as it sounds.

Think pig in a blanket, but make it Denver-sized. This 2-foot creation starts with a grilled hot dog, then piles on BBQ brisket burnt ends, goat cheese, sharp cheddar, puff pastry, crispy onions, jalapeno slices, avocado crema and Mile High secret sauce.

Aramark Sports + Entertainment is behind the new stadium bite, and Executive Sous Chef Sean Clark said the goal was to create “the ultimate game day item” that fans could share. Share? Absolutely. Conquer solo? Also absolutely, if you’re feeling brave.

You can find the Beast in a Blanket in Section 128 this season.Let me know if you try it!
