Air Fryer Burgers are a healthy and quick way to make classic American cheeseburgers.

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.
1 pound 80% lean ground beef, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Divide the beef mixture into four patties. Press them down until they are no thicker than ½ inch.
Place the burgers in the preheated air fryer basket and cook them for 7 minutes.
Place one slice of cheese over each burger and cook for an additional minute.
4 slices cheddar cheese
Garnish with your desired toppings and serve hot.
Hamburger buns, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Pickles

Preheat your air fryer before adding the burgers so that they cook through evenly.
Don't overwork the burger mixture with your hands as this can cause them to become tough and chewy.
Try this burger seasoning recipe in place of the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the juices redistribute.
