How To Cook Blackstone Kielbasa

Step One: Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes until it reaches the desired cooking temperature.

Step Two: While the griddle is heating, prepare the kielbasa sausages by cutting them into smaller sections or leaving them whole, depending on your preference.

Step Three: Once the griddle is hot, lightly grease the cooking surface with cooking oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Step Four: Carefully place the kielbasa sausages on the hot griddle. Arrange them in a single layer, making sure they have enough space between them for even cooking.

Step Five: Let the kielbasa cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even browning and cooking. Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the kielbasa. It should reach a minimum internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork-based kielbasa or follow the recommended temperature for the specific type of kielbasa you are cooking.

Blackstone Kielbasa Recipe Tips

• Preheat your griddle: Make sure your Blackstone griddle is hot before adding the kielbasa for a perfect sear.
• Slice evenly: Cut the kielbasa into uniform pieces for even cooking and crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd: Give each piece space on the griddle to brown properly.
• Add veggies: Bell peppers, onions, and potatoes cook well alongside kielbasa for a complete meal.
• Use oil sparingly: A light coating of oil helps prevent sticking without making the dish greasy.
• Turn frequently: Flip the kielbasa slices often for even browning on all sides.
• Season to taste: Enhance flavor with garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning blend.

Storing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Allow the cooked kielbasa to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
