Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef 85/15 lean
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper ground
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • tsp ground white pepper

Instructions

  • Mix Ingredients: Combine ground beef with all seasonings in a large bowl. Gently mix without overworking the meat.
  • Form Patties: Shape the meat into four equal patties. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty.
  • Chill Patties: Place patties in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm them up.
  • Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F for 5 minutes.
  • Cook Patties: Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Add Cheese (Optional): Add a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking for a melted topping.

Notes

  • For juicier burgers, use 85/15 ground beef with enough fat.
  • Chill patties before cooking to help them hold together better.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste and experiment with different cheese or toppings.
