How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Hamburgers
1. Stage
Make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, and minced pickles. Store in the fridge until ready to assemble the burgers.
2. Stage
Shape the burger patties: Divide the ground beef into 3 equal portions and press into flat patties. I recommend weighing the meat to ensure the patties are even, but you can eyeball it. Patties should be slightly larger than buns and 1/3-1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from swelling in the center and keeps them nice and flat.
3. Stage
Season the burger patties: Season each burger with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Stage
Prep the air fryer: Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your air fryer basket to prevent smoking. Spray the basket with nonstick spray.
5. Stage
Cook the burgers: Place burgers in the basket making sure they aren’t touching. Air fry for 8 minutes at 350˚F.
6. Stage
Finishing the burgers: After burgers cook, add a few slices of Cheddar cheese to the burgers. Return to air fryer and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
7. Stage
Toast the buns: Optionally, once your burgers are cooked, you can toast the buns for the burgers in the air fryer as well. Place the buns, cut-side up in the air fryer and air fry for 1 minute. Rotate through the buns until they are all toasted.
8. Stage
Assemble burgers: Serve burgers immediately on toasted buns with burgers sauce, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
