An ever growing collection of favorite Blackstone Grill Recipes that are perfect for camping, tailgating, or any kind of outdoor cookout.

Six photos of different recipes that use a Blackstone Griddle.

In April of 2020 my husband and I sold our house and moved into a 5th wheel RV. As we traveled from campground to campground, I noticed a lot of campers cooking outside on large flat top griddles.

I soon learned that the griddles they were using were called Blackstone Griddles. Even without knowing anything about them, the advantages of having one was obvious, and I couldn't wait to get one.

What is a Blackstone Griddle?

A Blackstone Griddle is a portable cast iron flat top grill with up to 36-inches of cooking space that's fueled by propane.

For most campers, cooking on a Blackstone is considerably easier than cooking on a tiny RV stovetop or camp stove.

Not only does the large cooktop allow you to prepare a lot of food at once, many Blackstone Griddles have 2 or 3 independently adjustable burners. This gives the cook greater control over temperature while cooking several different foods at once.

Our Blackstone's Permanent Place in our Outdoor Kitchen

Our Heartland Cyclone 5th wheel came with a standard outdoor kitchen that included a slide out metal countertop with a sink (no drain), a two burner gas stovetop, a super tiny refrigerator, and a television.

We replaced the metal countertop (and drain-less sink) with butcher block and swapped out the two burner gas stove for a 22-inch Blackstone Griddle.

We also removed the tiny refrigerator and added a slide-out shelf as a permanent platform for our Traeger Grill and Smoker.

Before the remodel, I only used the outdoor kitchen every once in a while. Now, I use it all the time.

The outdoor kitchen in our 5th wheel RV. We remodeled the kitchen to include a Blackstone Griddle and Traeger smoker.

What Are the Main Advantages of an Outdoor Griddle?

  • The large flat top surface. Ranging in size from 17-inches to 36-inches, Blackstone cooktops offer plenty of room to cook a lot of food, or several different kinds of foods, at once.
  • Blackstone Griddles have the same properties as restaurant grade Hibachi griddles. This means they have a versatile cooking surface with the ability to get very hot.
  • They are portable! Blackstone grills are easy to take anywhere, camping, tailgating, or just to a friend's backyard BBQ.
  • Propane powered. There's no need to set up a Blackstone next to a power outlet because they are powered by their own small, portable propane tank.
  • Blackstone Griddles have a cast iron surface that is non-stick, retains and conducts heat well, is easy to care for, and will last for years and years.

What All Can You do With a Blackstone Griddle?

I think a better question is, what can't you do with a Blackstone Griddle? They really are incredibly versatile. In addition to the recipes below, here are just a few things that I love to cook on our Blackstone grill:

  • Grilled sandwiches or burgers
  • Any kind of kabobs
  • Any kind of protein, including juicy seared steaks, pork tenderloin or chops, seasoned chicken, fish fillets, sausage... the list goes on and on
  • Grilled quesadillas
  • Pancakes or French toast for a crowd
  • Flat breads like tortillas and naan

Looking for a great cocktail to go with your Blackstone dinner?

In this collection of 21 camping cocktail recipes you'll find cocktails for hot summer days and cool weather evenings. You'll find deliciously indulgent cocktails for sipping around a campfire and easy sipping cocktails perfect for day drinking.

All of the cocktail recipes require very few ingredients, no special equipment, and most can happily be sipped from plastic cups. 

Favorite Blackstone Griddle Recipe Ideas

This is an ever growing collection of favorite Blackstone Grill Recipes that are perfect for camping, tailgating, or any kind of outdoor cookout.

Flank Steak Tacos with Pico de Gallo

Strips of seasoned, grilled flank steak and sautéed red peppers & onions are layered inside warm corn tortillas and topped with the bright, fresh flavor of Pico de Gallo.

The recipe for these Flank Steak tacos includes instructions for grilling, broiling, or using a Sous Vide cooker to cook the steak.

Each method produces strips of tender, flavorful steak that's perfect for tacos. But my favorite way to cook the steak and veggies for these tacos is on my Blackstone griddle.

Szechuan Tofu Stir-Fry

Szechuan Tofu is one of those super easy recipes to make using a Blackstone griddle. This stir fry is packed with vegetables and crispy pieces of tofu coated in a spicy vegan Szechuan sauce flavored with chili, garlic, soy, and rice vinegar.

Blackstone Grilled Kielbasa, Tortellini, & Spinach Casserole

This super easy recipe combines Kielbasa, tortellini, and vegetables in a one of a kind pasta dish that you prepare 100 percent outside on the grill.

Simple and Quick Grilled Salmon

A Blackstone griddle is the perfect surface for any kind of fish, and this grilled Salmon is simple, fast, nutritious, and delicious.

Be sure to cut the salmon into serving size pieces before grilling for easy flipping.

Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce has been one of my family's favorite meals for years.

The steak is seasoned with a dry rub of cumin, chili powder, garlic and oregano, grilled to perfection, then topped with the bright, fresh flavor of Argentinian Chimichurri sauce. It's a deliciously simple flavor-packed meal.

Grilled Pork Chops

These Grilled Pork Chops with an herb rub are fantastic served with grilled vegetables, corn or potatoes.

This is the kind of simple, outdoor cooking that can help you enjoy long summer days even at the end of busy weekdays.

Apple, Ham and Cheddar Quesadillas

I love making quesadillas on the Blackstone, because you can make several all at once.

These Apple, Ham, and Cheddar quesadillas are ready to eat in about 15 minutes and the kind of thing your whole family will enjoy.

Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken

This grilled chicken recipe is all about layer after layer of flavor.

Chicken thighs are soaked in a sugar-salt brine to tenderize the meat and add flavor from the inside out. They are then coated with a lemon-rosemary rub and grilled while being basted in butter, rosemary, and dijon mustard.

This is one of my favorite ways to eat chicken in the summer: Quick, easy, and packed with flavor.

Classic Reuben Sandwich with Russian Dressing

This classic Reuben Sandwich is made with toasted slices of dark rye bread packed with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and tangy homemade Russian dressing.

This sandwich is the perfect reason to make extra corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. Or, simply pick up some corned beef at your favorite deli counter and enjoy a Reuben any time of the year.

Making Reuben Sandwiches on a Blackstone Griddle means you can cook multiple sandwiches at once.

Vegetarian Reuben Sandwiches

If you’re looking for a lighter, vegetarian version of the Classic Reuben Sandwich, look no further than this delicious recipe.

This Vegetable Reuben is loaded with sautéed mushrooms, onions and spinach, topped with lacto-fermented sauerkraut and sauced with home-made light Russian dressing.

Blackstone Griddle Smash Burgers

The Smashburger is intended to be cooked on a flattop grill, so it's a super obvious (and delicious!) recipe idea for a Blackstone Griddle.

The Smashburger is made by forming meatballs and then use a spatula to press the burger right on the grill top. This is said to allow them to sear, which locks flavor into the burger, and helps it remain juicy.

Blackstone Garlic Butter Lamb Chops

This simple recipe for Blackstone grilled rack of lamb uses butter, salt, black pepper, parsley, mint, and oregano, for fall off the bone tender meat in just a few short minutes.

Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches
