Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 4 Burger Buns (fresh, sturdy)
  • Optional: 4 Cheese Slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until well incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
  3. Air Fry the Burgers: Place patties in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. During the last minute, add cheese slices on top if using, allowing them to melt perfectly.
  4. Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, split the burger buns and toast them in the air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and warm, adding texture and preventing sogginess.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked patties onto the toasted buns, add your favorite toppings and sauces, and enjoy your crispy and juicy air fryer burgers.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat to keep patties tender and avoid toughness.
  • Indent the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  • Use medium heat (375°F) for the best balance between crispy crust and juicy interior.
  • Flip the patties only once to maintain crust and moisture.
  • Let burgers rest a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
