How to Cook a 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. If you love thin crispy-edge smash burgers instead, try our Blackstone Smash Burger.
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 with a large metal spatula and cook until burgers are cooked through (3-4 more minutes) and with a nice crust.
Step 9 – Add Cheese – Add a slice of 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 sesame seed 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

I actually put a pad of butter down for each burger with the oil to make a butter burger with cheese.
Yum! That sounds delicious!
i have a black and decker indoor little grill. would your recipes work on what i have?
Kim – I’m not sure on the exact grill that you have. If it has grill plates then most of my grilling recipes will work on those. If it has a griddle plate or option, then the Blackstone recipes would work great on it as well! Please let me know if you try any out and how they work out!
