Air Fryer Hamburgers
Description
This recipe combines ground beef with simple seasonings such as salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, formed into four patties. A small indent is made in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking. Cooking takes place in an air fryer set to 370°F, cooking each side for several minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safety and juiciness.
The optional brushing of barbecue sauce before cooking adds additional flavor and glaze to the outside of the burgers. After the initial cook time, cheese may be added briefly for melting before serving. These burgers are designed to be served on buns with favorite toppings.
Using an air fryer allows cooking without additional oils, and quick cook times help keep the meats moist. Adjusting cooking time based on thickness and appliance variation is advised, with meat thermometer use recommended to ensure proper cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20, lean
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce optional
For Serving
- 4 Hamburger Bun
- toppings as desired
Instructions
- Combine meat, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
- Form into 4 patties, about 1/2" thick. Make a small indent in the middle of the patty with your thumb. Brush patties with barbecue sauce if using.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F. Add patties in a single layer to the basket.
- Cook 6 minutes. Flip burger over and cook an additional 3-5 minutes or until beef reaches 160°F.
- Add cheese if using and cook 1 minute more. Serve on buns.
Notes
- Use ground beef with about 20% fat to maintain moist and flavorful burgers.
- Cooking times may vary by air fryer model and burger thickness; check early and use a meat thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Frozen patties can be cooked in the air fryer with additional cooking time; adjust as needed for thickness.
- For less or more doneness, adjust cooking times accordingly.
