Air Fryer Hamburgers
Description
The recipe starts by mixing lean ground beef with seasonings and Worcestershire sauce. The mixture is formed into four even-sized patties with a slight indentation pressed into the center of each. This technique helps prevent the patties from bulging as they cook. The air fryer is preheated to 380°F, and burgers cook for about 5 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for safety.
If cheese is desired, a slice is placed on the patties after flipping, and the residual heat melts it without additional cooking time. The result is a juicy patty with a mild seasoned flavor and a texture that is firm but tender.
These burgers can be served on buns with traditional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion or enjoyed as-is for a protein-focused meal. The air fryer method reduces the need for added fats during cooking and yields a consistent result quickly.
When using 95% lean ground beef, the burgers are relatively low in fat and calories. Nutritional values will vary depending on toppings and buns used. Checking internal temperature ensures food safety and appropriate doneness.

Notes
- Pressing an indentation in the center of each patty helps maintain flat shape during cooking.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach 160°F for safety.
- If adding cheese, place it on patties after flipping and let residual heat melt it without extra cooking time.
- Nutritional values listed apply to burgers made with 95% lean beef and do not include bun or toppings.
