We love grilling out burgers. We usually grill them on our gas grill but recently purchased a Blackstone Griddle and cooked our burgers on it. They came out with the perfect crispy edges, juicy and cooked to perfection.

Making Blackstone Griddle Recipes have been a favorite this summer. We have made breakfast, steak, sauteed vegetables, and pork chops. But this cheeseburger recipe has been a family a favorite.

Why This Recipe Works

These juicy delicious Blackstone Cheeseburger are perfect for all your summer BBQ’s. This is the easiest classic recipe with simple ingredients and made perfectly on your Blackstone with amazing taste.

Prepare your ground beef by placing them in balls trying to make them about the same size. Then place them on the flat top grill and smash with a burger press. Season the hamburger with your favorite seasoning or burger sauce.

Once grilled, top with burgers with slice cheese. We like sharp cheddar, but you can also use pepper jack cheese for a little kick to your burger. The results are juicy smash burgers.

Ingredients

Ingredients needed - ground beef, oil, garlic salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, buns
  • Ground Beef – You can even use ground chuck or ground turkey
  • Oil – We recommend using a high smoke point oil for the Best Oils for a Blackstone Grill
  • Garlic Salt – You can also use Garlic Powder
  • Pepper – Feel free to also use Homemade Burger Seasoning
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese – We used a white cheddar but you can also use swiss cheese
  • Hamburger Buns – Use your favorite burger buns

How to a Cook Cheeseburger on Blackstone Griddle

  • Step 1 – Prepare Blackstone – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). 
  • Step 2 – Oil Grill – Spread the oil out on the grill with a spatula.  Use any oil with a high smoke point. Vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil or avocado oil will all work great in this recipe.
  • Step 3 – Make Hamburger Balls – Divide the ground beef into 6 even balls (approximately ⅓ lb each). Place prepared loosely packed beef on a piece of parchment paper.
  • Step 4 – Add beef to flat top griddle – Place the ground beef on the Blackstone grill on the oil.  
  • Step 5 – Press Beef on Griddle – Press firmly on the ground beef balls into the Blackstone Grill.  Do not smash it all the way down but just press slightly to form a burger patty.

  • Step 6 – Season Beef – Season the thin patties with the garlic salt and black pepper.  
  • Step 7 – Cook Smash Burgers – Cook the patties for 3 minutes -5 minutes on a hot griddle.
  • Step 8 – Flip with Spatula – Flip the burgers and cook until burgers are cooked through (3-4 more minutes).

  • Step 9 – Add Cheese – Add a slice of the cheese to each burger patty and allow it to melt.  
  • Step 10 – Add beef to buns – Remove the beef and add them to one of the hamburger buns. 
  • Step 11 – Serve and Enjoy – Then add your favorite burger toppings and enjoy.

Cheeseburger Recipe Tips

  • Season Hamburger Patties – If you use quality meat then you really won’t need much other than salt and pepper. But make sure you season the burgers well.
  • Make Ahead of Time – You can easily make your hamburger balls ahead of time and place in the refrigerator until ready to grill.
  • Juicy Burger – Allow you burger to cook on the grill with very little flipping. I try to only flip the burger patties once to create a juicy flavorful burger.
  • Hamburger Buns – When I make these cheeseburgers, I like to serve with good quality hamburger buns. The last thing I want is my hamburger bun to fall apart after putting the toppings on. We recommend brioche buns, potato bun, or hamburger buns topped with sesame seeds.

Cheeseburger Topping Ideas

Here are some of our favorite toppings for our burgers. If I am trying to cut out carbs, I will eat the cheeseburger without the bun.

  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Slice Avocado
  • Onions
  • Pickles
  • Ketchup, Yellow Mustard, Mayo

What to Serve with Blackstone Cheeseburger

When we make these Blackstone Cheeseburgers, we like to make sides that we can prepare directly on the griddle. This makes for an easy cleanup.

    I actually put a pad of butter down for each burger with the oil to make a butter burger with cheese.
