Servings: 4 burgers
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 air fryer (I use the Ninja Foodi Grill)
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
To Serve (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375° Fahrenheit.
- While it is preheating, form the the ground beef into 4 equal sized patties.
- Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on the top and bottom of the burger patties.
- Put them in the preheated air fryer basket (you may have to do two batches depending on the size of your basket).
- Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip the burgers over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Check to see if the hamburgers are done to your liking. (Time may vary based on your model of air fryer and how thick the burgers are.)

- Use a spatula to take the patties out of the basket and place them on the buns. Add your desired toppings.
Notes
Tips:
- Add a little butter to the top and bottom bun and toast it on a hot pan. It will elevate your burger to a whole new level!
- Use fresh ground beef to ensure the burgers don't fall apart and have the best flavor.
- Storage: Cooked hamburgers can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: To reheat a refrigerated or frozen burger, you can use the air fryer, microwave, oven, grill, or a pan. Do so at a low heat so as not to overcook the meat.
- Freezing: To freeze, store them in a freezer bag after they have cooled. They can stay in the freezer for up to four months.
