Ingredients

Patties
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Assembly
8 slider buns
8 slices American cheese
Pickles
Ketchup
Mustard
Sliced onion
Lettuce
Tomato

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix ground beef gently with seasonings. Form into 8 thin patties slightly larger than the buns (they shrink).

  2. 2

    Air fry at 400°F for 5-6 minutes. Flip, add cheese, cook 2-3 more minutes until cheese melts and patties reach 160°F.

  3. 3

    Toast buns in air fryer for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Assemble with pickles, ketchup, mustard, onion, lettuce, and tomato.

💡

Tip: Make patties slightly larger and thinner than the buns — they shrink as they cook. Don't press the patties while cooking or you squeeze out the juice. 80/20 beef has the best flavor and juiciness for burgers.

Why Air Fry This?

  • ⏱️Ready in 10 minutes vs ~18 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
  • 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
  • ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
