Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Place burgers in your air fryer basket, and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes total time.
When the burgers are about half way cooked around the 6 minute mark, open and flip the burgers.
The burgers will be done when they reach in internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).
When the burgers are done add sliced cheese if desired and cook for another 30 seconds or until the cheese is melted. *Your cheese will fly away in the air fryer, make sure to place the top bun on your patties with cheese to hold it in place!
Remove from your air fryer and place on bun, add any additional toppings and condiments, enjoy!
Notes
Flip the burgers halfway through. To get perfectly cooked burgers, it’s best to flip your patties halfway through the cooking period.
Don’t overcook the burgers! Leaving them in the air fryer for more than the allotted time can lead to crispy, black meat. Air fryers cook things quickly, so keep a close eye on them if you add extra cooking time.
Toast your hamburger buns for an extra special meal. To add even more flavor, you can spread a bit of butter or garlic butter on before putting the buns in a broiler for 3-4 minutes. You can also do this in a pan or skillet over medium heat on the stove top in the same amount of time.
To store: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just be sure to wrap them with foil or plastic cling wrap, or put the cooked patties into an airtight container.
To freeze: This recipe is specifically for frozen burgers, so you only need to make what you’re going to eat. If you happen to overestimate, cooked burgers can be re-frozen. Wrap the patties in aluminum foil, and put them in a freezer bag or an airtight container for up to 4 months.
To reheat: Add a teaspoon of water to the bottom of your fryer basket then put the burger in and air fry! Cook at 400℉ (205℃) for 3 to 4 minutes, or until completely warmed.
