Equipment

  • Air Fryer 4-5 quart

Ingredients

For the Burger

  • 1 lb. 80% lean ground beef 80% is my preference, but any fat content will work
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or steak sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix them lightly—make sure not to pack the beef together too tightly.

Notes

  • Burger Temperature Chart
    • For rare burgers: 125-130°F
    • For medium-rare burgers: 130-140°F
    • For medium burgers: 140-150°F
    • For medium-well burgers: 150-160°F
    • For well-done burgers: 160-165°F
  • Note that the FDA officially recommends that hamburgers be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure all bacteria are killed. If you choose to go with a medium cook, be sure you’re using the freshest beef or even making your own ground beef.
