Air Fryer Burgers

It is easy to cook burgers in an air fryer and they come out juicy and delicious.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 or lean ground beef (90/10))
• 1/2 Tablespoon salt
• 1/2 Tablespoon black pepper
• 1/4 Tablespoon onion powder
• 1 Tablespoons steak seasoning
• 3 hamburger buns (or brioche buns)
• 3 slices American cheese
• 1/2 tomato (sliced)
• 3 lettuce leaves
• 3 onion slices
• 3 slices bacon
• various condiments - ketchup (mustard, mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, fry sauce or BBQ sauce)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.
2. 2Divide the meat into three sections and pat them into three patties. Make evenly sized burger patties so that they cook at the same rate.
3. 3Sprinkle your desired seasoning over top of the patties, putting half on one side and then flipping them over and putting the rest on the other side.
4. 4Put the burgers in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap and there is room for the air to circulate.
5. 5Cook at 360 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, flipping them over after 6 minutes.
6. 6Check the burgers with an instant read thermometer, making sure they reach 160 degrees F internal temperature. If they aren't done cook them for an extra minute.
7. 7If you want a cheeseburger when the burgers are done add a slice of cheese on top, while the burgers are still in the basket. Close the basket and the residual heat from the air fryer should melt the cheese nicely. To melt the cheese even more cook the burgers with the cheese at 360 degrees F for another minute.
8. 8Assemble the burgers as desired using as many or as few toppings as you like.
