As a seasoned camping enthusiast and a mother of two adventurous kids, I’ve discovered the secret to elevating our outdoor culinary experiences: the Blackstone griddle. Its spacious cooking surface and versatility make it an indispensable tool for creating mouthwatering meals in the great outdoors. Here’s a curated list of 10 delectable dinner ideas that will tantalize your taste buds and make your camping trips unforgettable.
1. Sizzling Steak and Campfire Potatoes
Indulge in the classic camping duo: tender steak grilled to perfection on the Blackstone and crispy campfire potatoes roasted in foil over the embers. Season the steak with your favorite spices and grill it over medium heat until it reaches your desired doneness. Wrap the potatoes in foil with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them in the coals for about 45 minutes.
2. Cheesy Skillet Pizza
Satisfy your pizza cravings with this easy and delicious skillet pizza. Spread pizza dough onto the Blackstone and cook it until golden brown. Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crispy.
3. Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Herb Butter
Enjoy the flavors of the sea with grilled salmon fillets slathered in a zesty lemon-herb butter. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat until cooked through. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt. Brush the butter mixture over the salmon before serving.
4. Campfire Nachos
Create a festive and shareable appetizer or dinner with campfire nachos. Spread tortilla chips on the Blackstone and top with your favorite nacho toppings, such as cheese, beans, salsa, and sour cream. Grill until the cheese is melted and the chips are crispy.
