How to Make The Best Blackstone Sausage & Peppers
- Preheat your outdoor griddle to medium-hot and add the oil to one section.
- Slice the sausage into bite-size chunks and add them to the oil on the griddle. Start cooking the sausage, moving them around as needed to keep them from burning and to ensure even cooking.
- When the sausage is nearly cooked, add the onion and garlic. Keep it moving around so it cooks.
- When the onion has started to soften, after about 5 minutes of cooking, add the peppers and seasoning. Cook the peppers for 2-3 minutes until they’re tender-crisp, season with salt and pepper, then scoop it all off the griddle and dig in!
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- If your griddle is large enough, you can start the onions cooking in their own spot on the griddle, then mix them into the sausage before seasoning.
- Cutting the sausage into bite-sized chunks will help them cook quickly and make it easy to eat.
- You can use any kind of sausage.
- Switch up the flavors! Try bratwurst sausage with a sprinkle of paprika and a pinch of caraway seeds, or try Cajun flavors with andouille sausage and Cajun seasoning.

Wondering what to serve with Blackstone Sausage & Peppers? This easy recipe pairs so nicely with a variety of sides. I like serving it with pasta (penne or rigatoni are great), but you can also serve it with rice, orzo, or for a low-carb sausage and peppers dinner, zucchini noodles or eat it like it is. If you want more of a side dish, Orzo with Spinach and Tomatoes would pair nicely with it, as would Grilled Bread with Ricotta and Tomatoes.
