Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or any ground meat
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a small to medium sized mixing bowl stir or mash together the ground meat, onion powder and garlic powder.
Form four patties from the mixture.
In a small bowl or glass combine the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this over the patties, both sides, after you place them in your air fryer basket.
Air fry at 375°F (this is sometimes labeled ‘Roast’ on air fryers) for 10-12 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through cooking. Once done use a meat thermometer to check that they are done. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
Toast the hamburger buns in the air fryer for the last minute of cooking or in a dry pan. Top your burgers with whatever fixings you prefer.

Notes

You can use ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken or a mixture like Boston Burger (beef and pork) for this recipe.

I don’t preheat my air fryer before making burgers. But if you do you may be able to reduce the cook time a minute or two.

You can add parchment paper to an air fryer but I don’t when making homemade burgers. If you do, cut slits or holes in the paper so the fat from the burgers can drip through as this is one of the benefits of air fryer.

I want to make a cheeseburger I add a slice or two of cheese to the top of the burger for the last two minutes they are cooking.

All air fryers, like ovens, can run slightly differently so for me I tend to need to cook my burgers for the full 12 minutes. If you prefer your hamburgers with some pink in the center, medium to medium done, try 9-10 minutes the first time you make this recipe and see.
