Easy Air Fryer Hamburgers Recipe

When it comes to air frying, burgers aren't likely the first to come to mind. While it may seem like a stretch, I can tell you firsthand that it's a fabulous option for busy day meals. I'd be the first to say that grilling is my gold standard when it comes to hamburgers and cheeseburgers. However, some days the air fryer comes to the rescue and cooks perfectly juicy burgers while you put together the toppings of choice. That's a dinner win, in my book.

How to Make the Best Air Fryer Hamburgers

Air fryers are a handy kitchen gadget with a myriad of uses. In this instance, I wanted to mention just a few tips for your burger making success.

Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Air Fryer Hamburgers: 1 ½ pounds 80/20 or 85/15 ground sirloin or ground chuck, worcestershire sauce, granulated garlic, steak or hamburger seasoning and onion powder.
Kitchen gadgets you'll need: An air fryer, measuring cups and spoons, a mixing bowl and a spatula to turn the burgers halfway through cooking.
To keep the burgers juicy, it's best to use an 80/20 or 85/15 fat to meat ratio ground beef. This can be ground chuck, ground sirloin or a mix of the two.
The seasonings in the burgers can be adapted to suit your taste. You could replace salt with seasoned salt, barbecue seasoning or season them simply with salt and pepper alone. It won't make a difference to the cooking time.
How long do you cook burgers in an air fryer? For this recipe you'll cook them for 6-8 minutes per side flipping halfway through. Adjust the time depending on the thickness of the patties and how well done you like you burgers.
Everyone likes their burgers cooked differently. We tend to like ours medium-well to well done and the cooking time in the recipe reflects that. For medium or medium rare, simply reduce the cooking time according to how your appliance performs.
Air fryers, much like slow cookers can perform differently. Know your appliance, and you'll make perfect burgers every time.
Set up a toppings bar including lettuce, onion, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, jalapenos, mushrooms or whatever your family enjoys. After all it's your party.
I think burgers are best made and served. Should you have leftovers, transform them into a cheeseburger quesadilla or make it into a patty melt for a round two meal.
