Blackstone Burgers
Cooking frozen burgers on the Blackstone Griddle couldn't be easier! You don't even 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.

Why You'll love this Blackstone Burger Recipe
- Budget Friendly - by using frozen burgers over fresh burgers you will save money! When you get the pre-made raw hamburger patties in the meat department you are paying for the employees labor time as well.
- Healthy - You don't have to skimp on quality either when you buy frozen burgers! Many brands now offer frozen grass-fed burgers. You can also skip the bun and wrap your burger in lettuce to make it a keto lettuce wrapped burger!
- Quick Dinner Idea - with not having to make your own hamburger patties or having to thaw your burgers before throwing them on the Blackstone you'll save a lot of time! You can even cook bacon or onions on the grill while the burgers cook too!
Ingredients
- Frozen Burgers
- Montreal seasoning
- Cheese
- Hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: tomato, lettuce, and bacon
Tips & Tricks
Don't forget to use a DOME to cook frozen burgers on the Blackstone. The dome allows you to steam the frozen burgers, which speeds up the thawing process.
Also use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. This ensure you don't over cook or under cook your Blackstone Burgers!
Tools to make this easy recipe
- I have the 22 inch portable tabletop flat griddle grill station. It’s perfect for the RV travel life! I also have friends that have the Blackstone Adventure Ready 2-Burner 28″ Outdoor Griddle
How to make Burgers on the Blackstone Griddle
- Preheat Blackstone to medium.
- Add a little avocado oil the the hot griddle and then place the frozen burgers on the Blackstone griddle. Cover the burgers with a dome or if you have a lid on your Blackstone, place it down.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes until the burgers are thawed.
- Remove the dome. Sprinkle with Montreal seasoning.
- Flip the burgers over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
- Flip one more time and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of at least 160F.
- Topping the burgers with cheese.
- Remove from Blackstone once the cheese is melted .
- Top with your favorite burger toppings.
I made Bacon on the Blackstone also, because who doesn't love bacon on their burgers?! I did run out of cheese so I only had 3 bacon cheeseburgers LOL. I did 3 with buns for Amanda and Tyler and then mine was lettuce wrapped.
Cooking Frozen Burgers in the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place burgers on a metal baking sheet.
- Place in oven for 20 minutes.
- Top with a slice of cheese for the last two minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with your favorite toppings.
What to serve with Blackstone Burgers
My favorite side dish is these Instant Pot Mashed Cauliflower. Or you could serve any of these Blackstone Side Dishes like these Blackstone Green Beans or Blackstone Broccoli.
How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
How to reheat
Transfer hamburgers to a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1.5-2 minutes or until the internal temperature reach 165F.

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.
