Want the best recipes for your pellet grill? These Traeger Smoker Recipes fit the bill. From savory meats to flavorful vegetables, tender seafood, and over-the-top desserts, we have you covered!
Getting into using a Traeger pellet grill has been one of the most fun things we've done together as a couple. Paul tends to stick to meats and seafood, and I (Taryn) have ventured into appetizers, veggies, and even desserts. As self-trained home chefs and BBQ gurus, our recipes are easy enough for anyone to master. And we promise your next meal will be delicious!
Here are some of our top recipes:
1. Traeger Brisket
Fall apart tender, this simple beef brisket is perfect to serve a crowd at any party. We cook brisket for many summer gatherings; it is an epic meal that comes out perfectly every time.
2. Smoked Cream Cheese
My favorite appetizer! I love creamy dips paired with veggies and chips. You can't get any easier than topping a block of cream cheese with a dry rub and smoking it until it is warm and melty.
3. Traeger Pork Loin
Pork loin is an inexpensive way to feed a lot of people, and it comes out so moist and tender when smoked slow and low.
4. Traeger Duck
If you want to impress your guests, smoke a whole duck. Normally reserved for fancy restaurant meals, duck is actually easier to cook at home than you think, especially with a Traeger original wood pellet grill.
5. Traeger Smoked Salmon
The top of our pellet grill recipes is this simple hot-smoked salmon. This will kick up your grilling game. It converted me from a salmon hater to a salmon lover.
6. Traeger Smoked Chicken Wings
Smoke up some wings, toss in your favorite sauces, and enjoy this game day favorite. Smoking wings is a great way to cook them in summer when you don't want to heat up the house by turning on the oven.
7. Smoked Queso Recipe
Tailored to your preference, this smoked queso can be mild or have mouth-tingling heat for the perfect burn. It is packed with meat, making it a hearty app (or even main course) to share with your pals.
8. Smoked Scallops
For a meatless main, try these smoked scallops. With just a few ingredients, smoking scallops is just as easy as sautéing.
9. Smoked Elk Meatballs
Here is a new and unique option: smoked elk meatballs with a red wine sauce. Made with a combo of ground elk and ground pork they deliver a flavor-packed bite.
10. Smoked Brussels Sprouts
For a fun side dish, toss some Brussels in a cast-iron skillet and smoke them to perfection. The come out like roast Brussel sprouts but with even more flavor!
11. Smoked Zucchini Recipe
Zucchini is a summertime favorite around here, and cooking it on the smoker gives it a new flavor. It is excellent as is. But you can also chop it up and add it to a salad for an amazing new creation.
12. Smoked Meatloaf
Smoked meatloaf stuffed with cheese and wrapped with bacon? Sign me up!
13. Smoked Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs smoked and coated with BBQ sauce will please any crowd. We make these all the time.
14. Smoked Cheesecake
We couldn't have a compilation of Traeger recipes without a couple of desserts. Because, yes, your Traeger can double as an oven, allowing you to bake desserts of all types! This easy cheesecake is absolutely the creamiest cheesecake I've eaten in my entire life. Cooking low and slow, it sets just enough to hold together, making it so creamy.
15. Smoked Peach Cobbler
Last up is this fabulous smoked peach cobbler. In a stroke of inspiration, I decided to smoke a cobbler instead of baking it. Instant winner. The unrivaled wood-fired flavor from our Traeger grill paired with the flavor of the peaches in a way I couldn't imagine.
