Description
Cook a juicy hamburger quickly using an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheese (optional)
- Toppings as desired (lettuce, tomato, onion)
Instructions
- Gently form the ground beef into four equal patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty.
- Season both sides of the patties evenly with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 3 minutes.
- Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cook for 8 minutes.
- Flip the patties carefully. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty now.
- Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium).
- Toast the hamburger buns in the air fryer for 1 minute if desired, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Assemble your hamburgers with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For thicker patties, you may need to increase the cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Do not press down on the patties while cooking; this releases the juices.
