Blackstone Burgers are so easy to make and they come out super juicy too! But there’s a trick to using frozen burgers on the griddle! And don’t get these Blackstone Burgers confused with Smash Burgers, they aren’t the same!
Blackstone Burgers
Cooking frozen burgers on the Blackstone Griddle couldn’t be easier! You don’t need to thaw the burgers first either!
BUT…
There is a trick to making sure the burgers are JUICY and not dried out…and that’s a DOME for the Blackstone. Basically the dome allows you to steam the frozen burgers, which speeds up the thawing process.
You can cook frozen burgers on a grill or griddle without one, but you might not guarantee that they will come out juicy. You may over cook them while trying to get them up to temperature.

I cook frozen burgers on The Blackstone over medium heat
Typically I will use a little oil or bacon grease to cook my burgers in just so they don’t get stuck to the surface of the Blackstone.
Yes! That is my preferred way to cook burgers. It saves time and money, unless I’m making smash burgers. For those I use fresh hamburger meat.
I cook burgers from frozen on the griddle for 15-16 minutes.
A smash burger is when you use fresh ground beef, roll it into a ball and then flatten it on a hot griddle making sure it’s super thin. Think Steak and Shake burger. Versus a typically burger there is no griddle press to smush it down, we want to keep all of the juices inside our burgers.
