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.

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!

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

  1. Preheat Blackstone to medium. 
  2. 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.
  3. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the burgers are thawed.
  4. Remove the dome. Sprinkle with Montreal seasoning. 
  5. Flip the burgers over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
  6. Flip one more time and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of at least 160F.
  7. Topping the burgers with cheese.
  8. Remove from Blackstone once the cheese is melted .
  9. 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.

FAQs

How do you cook burgers on a Blackstone griddle?

Preheat Blackstone to medium heat and add the oil once griddle is hot. Then add the frozen burgers to 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.

What temperature do you cook burgers on a Blackstone griddle?

I cook frozen burgers on The Blackstone over medium heat

Do you need oil to cook burgers on Blackstone?

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.

Can you Cook Frozen Burgers on a 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.

How Long Do You Cook Burgers on a Blackstone Griddle?

I cook burgers from frozen on the griddle for 15-16 minutes.

How is a Smash Burger different from a Regular Burger?

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.
