Learn how to make tasty, juicy Air Fryer Hamburgers that will make you the star of your family. Step-by-step instructions with a video.

There isn’t a lot better than a delicious cheeseburger with all the toppings. No need to go through the drive-through when you can make them at home. We like to make this a meal with Air Fryer French Fries, Tator Tots or Onion Rings.

These make such a good quick and easy dinner for those busy nights. That’s why I love my air fryer, cooks fast and easy clean up.

What you need

There are many different ways to season the meat. Steak seasoning and seasoned salt are easy options.

Ground Beef: Use your favorite like lean or 80/20.

Worcestershire: Adds a little salt and flavor.

Garlic Powder

Salt and Pepper

How to make

Place ground beef in a large bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Divide meat into equal portions. Roll a portion into ball and on wax paper. Top with another pieces or wax paper and press down with a heavy object like a pan.
Spray basket with olive oil and place burger patties in the basket.
Cook at 380 degrees F for approximately 4-5 minutes. Flip burgers over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

How long to cook

I will start by saying each air fryer cooking a bit different.

Depending on patty thickness and how done you like your burger, will determine cooking time. I would recommend using a meat thermometer to achieve your perfect burger.

Rare: Typically a cool red center with internal temperature of 125 degrees F.

Medium Rare: This is a warm red center of 135 degrees F.

Medium: Pink center with temperature of 145 degrees F.

Medium Well: A hint of pink center with temperature of 150 degrees F.

Well Done: Should see no pink with internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

This recipe makes a well done burger.

How to make frozen hamburgers in air fryer

I recommend cooking hamburgers from frozen an extra 3-4 minutes.

Tips

Try forming your burgers into similar sized patties.
If you prefer a thicker burger, don’t press down on patty.
Preheat according to your machine’s instructions.
Don’t crowd the basket. I was able to fit 3 in my 5.8 quart.
For low-carb, wrap in lettuce instead of a bun or just serve with no bun.
Use your favorite cheese. We love Colby-Jack but Swiss, American, Provolone and Pepper Jack are all delicious.

Good hamburger toppings

Toppings are such a personal thing. A few of my favorites are: onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise. You could also try this special sauce, sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos, avocado and more.
