Whether you’re cooking on game day, tailgating, or camping, these Blackstone recipes & ideas are easy, delicious, and easily feed a crowd.

We added a Blackstone griddle to our camp kitchen years ago, and it’s stayed in constant rotation ever since. The flat, wide cooking surface means you can cook eggs, bacon, and hash browns side by side and have it all ready at the same time, no juggling a single skillet to feed a crowd.
Blackstones have also become the go-to option for camping in places where fire bans are common, especially in summer. They run on propane, so you can keep cooking real meals even when campfires are off the table.
They’re just as useful in the backyard. Tailgates, game days, feeding a crowd at the campsite, this list covers all of it.

Blackstone Nachos
These Blackstone nachos are perfect for game-day parties or tailgating!
First cook the seasoned ground beef on the Blackstone, then assemble a pile of tortilla chips and all the fixings on a metal sheet pan, and then use your griddle to heat it all up until the cheese is melted and the toppings are piping hot. Then dig in!

Blackstone Fried Rice
This flexible recipe gives you a choice of optional protein – go with chicken, steak, shrimp, or even tofu for a meatless version. Onions, carrots, peas, eggs, and rice are cooked in sections and then brought together for a Blackstone grill recipe that will feed a crowd!

Griddle Hashbrowns
Got an early morning tailgate? Make these griddle hashbrowns. Shredded potatoes, onion, and bell pepper brown on the griddle, then eggs are nestled right into the hash and cooked until set. The whole breakfast happens in one spot.

Cowboy Blackstone Stirfry
Cowboy Stirfry is a family-size hash of sorts, with slices of seasoned potatoes, sausage, and zucchini along with bell peppers and onion. Cook it all together on your griddle, flipping occasionally, until golden and perfect. Delicious with hot sauce and/or a fried egg on top!

Blackstone Mexican Street Corn
This recipe starts with thawed frozen corn kernels and gives them the Mexican street corn treatment: mayo, cheese, lime juice, and a sprinkle of tangy-spicy Tajin. A quick side that goes with almost anything else you’re cooking on the griddle.

Egg Roll in a Bowl
This low-carb spin on egg rolls ditches the wrapper and the deep frying. It starts with ground chicken or pork, then the veggies, all cooked on the Blackstone. Top the finished bowl with crunchy wonton strips, almonds, or a drizzle of Sriracha mayo.

Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
Toasted hoagie rolls piled with sliced steak, tender veggies, and melted cheese. This recipe scales up easily, which makes it a good pick for tailgates, game days, or feeding a group at camp.

Steak Fajita Quesadillas
This meal comes together entirely on the Blackstone. Cook the steak first, push it to the side, then cook the veggies. When those are done, make room for the tortillas and assemble the quesadillas right on the grill: steak, veggies, and melty cheese inside crispy tortillas.

Blackstone Cajun Green Beans
Tender, seasoned green beans are the perfect side to whip up on the griddle! If you have a larger Blackstone, just cook them on one side while your main dish is on the other. Your easy meal will be done within minutes!

Blackstone Crunchwrap
If you’re craving a crunchwrap supreme but fast food is nowhere in sight, these Blackstone crunchwraps get you there. Taco-seasoned ground beef smothered in cheese, wrapped in tortillas, and grilled until golden and crispy.

Blackstone Smash Burgers
For juicy burgers that are crisp on the edges and full of flavor, the Blackstone makes it happen! These smash burgers with cheese and onions on soft Brioche buns are perfect for feeding a crowd.

Chorizo Breakfast Burritos
Whether you’re prepping for a morning tailgate or cooking for a group on a camping trip, these breakfast burritos hold up. Cook big batches of chorizo and potatoes, add the cheese and eggs, then roll everything up in tortillas and grill the burritos until golden and warmed through. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Reuben Burger
Juicy burgers topped with corned beef and pastrami, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island or Russian dressing. It’s a Reuben sandwich and a hamburger in one, and it works.

Blackstone Mushroom Swiss Burger
This is one of those recipes the griddle was made for. First, a pile of mushrooms sautes to golden on the grill, then the beef patties cook alongside. Stack the patties with mushrooms and a slice of Swiss for a proper cheesy mushroom burger.

St. Louis Slinger
A St. Louis diner classic: this breakfast is a mix of fried eggs, hamburger patties, potatoes, chili, onion, and plenty of cheese. Serious rib-sticking power.

Pasta Primavera
Yes, you can even cook pasta on your Blackstone! Pasta is boiled on one side of the Blackstone while zucchini, carrots, onion, bell pepper, and more are sauteed on the other. Mix them all together, add some fresh Parmesan and basil, and you have a surprisingly elegant pasta meal made entirely on your griddle!

Chicken Fajitas
Marinated chicken tenders, fajita veggies, and seasonings cook up hot on the griddle for fajitas, Blackstone style. Serve them on warmed tortillas with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

Ultimate Blackstone Breakfast
Everything you want for breakfast, all in one! This griddle meal makes a mean breakfast hash with eggs, tender veggies, smoky bacon, and crispy hash browns. With only 20 minutes from start to finish, you’ll be feeding your hungry crowd in no time!

Blackstone Brussels Sprouts
Halved Brussels sprouts sear in butter right on the griddle, then get flavored with garlic, brown sugar, and salt. A quick spritz of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up. Finish with crunchy almonds or hazelnuts.

Ham Fried Rice
This hearty fried rice is full of flavor with ham, garlic, onion, peas and carrots and more! This is a great one for tailgating or camping because most of the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time and quickly assembled on the grill. Plus, with one recipe yielding 10 servings, this one feeds a crowd!

Blackstone Corn Fritters
These cheesy corn fritters bring Mexican street corn flavors to the griddle. They cook up golden brown and make the kind of side dish that disappears before the main course is ready.

Blackstone Teriyaki Chicken
No need for takeout when you can make this on the griddle. Chicken and veggies get smothered in teriyaki sauce for a sweet and spicy meal. Serve it on its own or over rice or noodles.

Buttermilk Blackstone Pancakes
With Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour, these fluffy buttermilk pancakes make a hearty breakfast, and cook up fast on the Blackstone griddle! Add fresh fruit like raspberries or blueberries for a fruity spin.

Simple Blackstone Hash Browns
Pre-shredded potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. That’s the whole ingredient list. If you want hash browns on the griddle without any fuss, this is the recipe.

The Hangover Burger
Smashed hamburger patties, crispy bacon, and a fried egg all on top of a buttery bun … delicious! Add cheese, salsa verde, and some mayo for a nourishing meal that sticks to the ribs.

Really dislike “Blackstone”, “Blackstone”, “Blackstone”. I think it would taste the same without the commercialization.
I’m going to try some of these in my cast iron skillet. Blackstone too big for me.
Terry– A cast iron skillet is a great alternative!
Hey Marcus, I get where you’re coming from. We know that a lot of folks use the Blackstone, but these would work with a different griddle as well.
(For what it’s worth, we weren’t paid by this company to share this.)
Thanks for the feedback,
