Name: Air Fryer Hamburgers
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 12 min
Yield: 3
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons ketchup; 2 tablespoons minced pickles; 1 pound ground beef; 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; Nonstick spray, for air fryer; 4 ounces Cheddar cheese, sliced; 3 hamburger buns; Lettuce; Sliced tomato; Sliced red onion

1 In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ketchup, and minced pickles. Store in the fridge until ready to assemble the burgers.

2 Divide the ground beef into 3 equal portions and press into flat patties. I recommend weighing the meat to ensure the patties are even, but you can eyeball it. Patties should be slightly larger than buns and 1/3-1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from swelling in the center and keeps them nice and flat.

3 Season each burger with salt and pepper on both sides.

4 Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your air fryer basket to prevent smoking. Spray the basket with nonstick spray.

5 Place burgers in the basket making sure they aren’t touching. Air fry for 8 minutes at 350˚F.

6 After burgers cook, add a few slices of Cheddar cheese to the burgers. Return to air fryer and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.

7 Optionally, once your burgers are cooked, you can toast the buns for the burgers in the air fryer as well. Place the buns, cut-side up in the air fryer and air fry for 1 minute. Rotate through the buns until they are all toasted.

8 Serve burgers immediately on toasted buns with burgers sauce, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
