Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Bell Peppers
Transform your favorite appetizer into a bold and filling meal with these jalapeño popper-stuffed peppers. Melty cheese, crispy bacon, shredded chicken, and diced jalapeños are mixed and packed into green pepper halves, then grilled on the Traeger for that signature wood-fired flavor. Top them off with even more cheddar cheese and bacon for a bubbly, golden finish.
Cornbread Chili Casserole
Whether you're feeding a crowd or craving comfort food, this chili casserole is a delicious twist on classic chili pie. Made in a single skillet, it layers rich, savory chili with a golden, slightly sweet cornbread topping for the ultimate cozy meal. Prepare the chili filling ahead of time or use your favorite homemade or store-bought chili to save time.
Flatrock Grilled Cheese
This isn’t your average grilled cheese—it’s a crispy, gooey griddle masterpiece. Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick, while melty gouda and mozzarella bring the cheese pull dreams are made of. Plus, it’s all sandwiched together between two slices of toasty bread with a crispy parmesan crust.
Roasted Tomato Soup
Leave the canned stuff in the past with Dennis the Prescott’s from-scratch roasted tomato soup recipe. Roasting the veggies on the Traeger gives this dish a smoky, wood-fired flavor base. Then blend it all into a rich, velvety soup and top with homemade rosemary croutons for the ultimate cozy combo—especially next to a killer grilled cheese.
S'mores Brownies
Our s'mores brownies bring campfire vibes to a chocolatey classic. This decadent dessert is stacked with gooey brownie goodness, golden toasted marshmallows, crunchy graham crackers, and classic Hershey’s chocolate. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, they’re everything you love about s’mores, baked into the ultimate brownie bar.

Flatrock Griddle Recipes
Braised Chicken Tacos with Cracklins
Inspired by birria tacos, these braised chicken tacos get dipped in a spicy enchilada sauce before a turn on the griddle. Crisped chicken skin (aka cracklins) adds welcome crunch to the filling. Serve these up with some rice, beans, and Mexican beer for the full cantina experience at home.
Flat Top Stuffed French Toast
Chef JRob describes his sweet brunch dish as a cross between French toast and cheesecake. Yet the cream cheese and blueberry filling could not be easier to make, and the large surface area of the flat top lets you cook all the brioche at once so everyone can eat at the same time.
Flat Top Porcini-Dusted Smashed Burger
We’re taking the classic smashed burger up a notch with porcini powder and a special sauce. The dried mushroom powder, sometimes called dust, gives the meat an even deeper savory flavor. If your supermarket carries dried porcinis but not powder, simply grind the whole dried mushrooms in a spice grinder. Spreading a little mayo on the buns before toasting them makes them nicely browned and crisped.
Flat Top Cinnamon-Sugar Crepe Cake
Diva Q makes this fantastical, many-layered cake for her kids, who request it often for breakfast (and just about any other time of day). Once you try it, you will know why. For best results, let the crepe batter rest for at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight.
Flat Top Spicy Chicken Fajitas
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for cooking on the griddle. As convenient and quick cooking as chicken breast, they have a deeper flavor and are more forgiving so they’re almost guaranteed to stay juicy after cooking. We like the heat the jalapeño ribs provide. If that’s not your thing, cut the seeds ribs out of the slices. Depending on how filled you like your fajitas, you may have extra vegetables; if so, save them to use in omelets or on pizza.
