These sizzling flat-tops are nearly fool-proof, and you can cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert in no time. These seventeen Blackstone recipes are viral for a reason and will help you level up your Blackstone experience to exciting and tasty new heights.
1. Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Chopped Cheese
The epic combination of velvety cheese, creamy ranch, crisp bacon, and juicy chicken is bound to be a favorite at your next summer celebration, and it comes together quickly on your Blackstone Griddle. Cook your bacon and seasoned ground chicken on the griddle, pile it on a hoagie bun, and top with fresh tomato, a squeeze of ranch dressing, and some sliced cheese for an incredible sandwich.
2. Blackstone Steak Udon
The Blackstone makes some impressive udon, so if you’re looking for an out-of-the-box treat this year, remember this recipe. You’ll need some sliced New York strip steak, a combination of barbecue sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, miso, udon noodles, and some vegetables of your choice. I like using different kinds of bell peppers for visual interest. Crown it all with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
3. Hibachi Chicken and Vegetables
Have the ultimate hibachi experience at your home, where you can customize the taste on your Blackstone. This chicken and vegetable variety outshines anything you can find at a restaurant and is a great way to use leftover vegetables. You just need chicken, soy sauce, ginger, butter, and a handful of fresh vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper, and broccoli.
4. Blackstone Chicken Pesto Quesadillas
Chicken and pesto are an inspired summer combination, especially when you pair them with tangy goat cheese and punchy sun-dried tomatoes. I’ve found that rotisserie chicken is an excellent shortcut ingredient that infuses these mini-pizzas with plenty of slow-roasted flavors, amplified by being on the Blackstone griddle.
5. Keto Philly Cheesesteaks
If you’re watching the carbs and short on time and energy, this super-fast, ultra-easy recipe that only requires six common ingredients and your Blackstone is the ticket. I like to use Sola hotdog buns to keep it very carb-friendly. Other than that, get yourself some Steak-Umms, a few slices of provolone cheese, green pepper, onion, and olive oil to cook it to perfection on your Blackstone.
6. Blackstone Sausage and Peppers
The beauty of this recipe is that you can easily double it to serve a crowd, and it’s packed with party-pleasing flavors, so you know it will be a hit. You can use whatever kind of sausage you’d like, plus some colorful chunks of bell peppers, onion, seasoning, garlic, and a few quartered mushrooms. Top it with provolone cheese and marinara to really take the flavor up a notch.
7. Hash Brown Omelets
Make a killer Blackstone Griddle breakfast with these personalized omelets that combine crispy hashbrowns, melty cheese, meat, vegetables, and spices into a hearty dish that will keep you full well until lunch. Plus, they’re an excellent way to clean out your fridge, and everyone can customize their own. Save some time by using store-bought hash browns for the base, and these omelets will be ready in less than 15 minutes.
8. Blackstone Griddle Salmon
With a crisp sear outside and flaky, flavorful inside, these Blackstone Griddle salmon filets prove that the tastiest dishes are sometimes the simplest. You can play around with the seasoning; I prefer a mix of garlic, lemon, and a bit of freshly ground pepper because it lets the flavor of the fish shine through. They just need a few minutes on the griddle and are ready to serve.
9. Garlic-Mustard Glazed Skewers
These richly flavored garlic mustard skewers are an ideal alternative to more standard barbecue fare like burgers or hot dogs and work well with your favorite sides, too. A combination of Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard provides textural interest and depth, while fresh herbs and garlic add brightness and zing. Grill on pre-soaked wooden skewers and enjoy right away.
10. Strawberry Chocolate Blackstone Pound Cake
The Blackstone Griddle isn’t just for savory fare; it’s incredible for desserts, too. This grilled poundcake with strawberries and chocolate chips is a masterclass in texture, flavor, and temperature, especially when you crown it with cool ice cream. Although the flavors are complicated, the preparation is not, and it all comes together in less than half an hour from start to finish.
11. Blackened Catfish
Catfish is an underrated fish, especially if you prepare it properly. That’s why I adore this blackened catfish recipe, which perfectly incorporates sweet and spicy flavors and yields a buttery, flaky product that’s bursting with character. Rub your fish with brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne pepper, and cook it on your Blackstone Griddle in a canola oil and butter mixture until crisp and delicious.
12. Blackstone Chicken Fajita Quesadillas
I love a good mash-up recipe, and these chicken fajita quesadillas deliver just that, with the cheesy goodness of a quesadilla and the fiery bite of a fajita. Plus, sprinkling a bit of fajita or taco seasoning on your meat infuses it with even more spice. You can use any type of cheese you’d like and serve each portion with salsa, hot sauce, and sour cream.
13. Smashburger Tacos
There’s a lot going on in these mouthwatering tacos, but it all works. Start by placing balls of seasoned ground beef on a 500-degree griddle, topping with a tortilla, and pressing down. Flip them after just under a minute, top with your cheese, and add your fixings.
14. Blackstone Griddle Birria Tacos
This version of summertime tacos puts a fresh spin on the classic. It features birria, slow-cooked meat that pairs fantastically with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro, all piled onto a soft tortilla wrapper. For extra freshness, I like to add a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime.
15. S’mores Pizza
S’mores pizza is another dynamite dessert you can prepare in a snap on your Blackstone Griddle. Individual tortillas make up the pizza “base,” and you can top them with marshmallow fluff, Hershey bars, mini marshmallows, syrup, and graham cracker crumbs for that authentic campsite taste.
16. Chicken Fried Rice
Skip the takeout and opt for this Blackstone Griddle chicken fried rice instead. With chicken marinated in a bold combination of sake, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper, diced veggies, a perfectly cooked egg, and a sesame seed garnish, this dish shines on many levels.
17. Blackstone Teriyaki Chicken Skewers
The classic combination of chicken and teriyaki sauce was made for your Blackstone Griddle. Plus, you can get these skewers from prep to plate in less than half an hour. Using pre-made teriyaki sauce is a clever hack, and you can pump up the flavor with garlic, spice, and a bit of cilantro for some freshness at the end.
