Smash Burgers On The Blackstone

Blackstone Smash Burgers are amazing! Just like the original, these copycat Blackstone burgers are filled with flavor and guaranteed to be one of the best summer meals you make on your Blackstone Grill.

My kids really love going to Smashburger, and they absolutely love their burgers made with seasoned ground beef. My kids also love their chocolate shakes and a side of Smash Fries, but the burgers are truly the star of their visit.

The secret is really in the Smash. This creates a juicy and tender burger, but with crispy edges, so you get the best of both worlds. The Blackstone is the perfect tool to get the job done!

What Is A Blackstone Smash Burger?

Smash burgers on the Blackstone include a process or technique to roll the meat into a meatball, then press the burger down with a spatula. This allows each patty to sear, which locks the flavor into the burger and causes it to remain juicy.

After the meat sears for a couple of minutes, it is flattened out to create the best Blackstone burgers you’ll ever taste.

My homemade Blackstone Smash Burger recipe is based on the Smashburger restaurant. It is wildly popular in America, and now there are about 370 restaurants worldwide.

Then, place the burgers on the grill. Once the patties are starting to brown, use your spatula to flatten the burgers. Cook the Blackstone burgers until both sides are done.
