How to cook hamburgers in an air fryer

First, mix the ground beef and the seasonings together in a bowl. Make sure you do not mix it too much because it will become tough. Just blend it all together enough so the seasonings are well combined.
Second, make 4 portions from the ground beef and roll into balls. Form them into patties.
Next, preheat the air fryer.
Add the burgers to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

How long to cook:
Finally, cook the burgers for 6-7 minutes and flip and cook on the other side for another 3-5 minutes. The burgers need to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
If you want cheeseburgers, add a slice of cheese to each burger and let melt for about a minute.
Serve and enjoy!

Serving ideas:

Serve with your favorite toppings:

Cheese
Red onion or white onion
Lettuce – shredded lettuce is my favorite
Tomato
Bacon – Try making air fryer bacon.
Pickles
Ketchup – Homemade ketchup is easy.
Mustard
Mayo
Barbecue sauce – I love this homemade bbq sauce.
Make Jalapeno Burgers

My kids love when I serve the burgers with Air Fryer Tator Tots Recipe. Dinner is so easy and you didn’t have to spend all evening in the kitchen!

We also love oven baked sweet potato fries.

I also love this easy Macaroni Salad because I can make it the night before and it is all ready for dinner.

More tips:

Use lean ground beef- This will help cut down on all the grease. Just don’t get too lean of a cut or they will dry out. Normally I get 80/20.
Substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
Meat thermometer- Make sure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees at the thickest portion of the burger.
Don’t skimp on seasoning. It gives the burger so much flavor.
Make sliders instead of regular size burgers if you have kiddos with smaller appetites. Sliders also work great for parties. Perfect for little hands or when you need smaller portions.
Don’t crowd or overlap the burgers in the air fryer. The burgers need to be in a single layer.

I can’t wait for you to try them! Your family will love this recipe. The burger patties turn out so tasty and our family really loves the results.
