Ingredients
Method
- Combine beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl; shape into 4 patties (½ inch thick) with an indent in the center.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place patties in basket; cook 5 minutes, flip, cook 3 minutes. Add cheese; cook 1 minute until melted and internal temp is 160°F.
- Toast buns in air fryer 1 minute if desired; build burgers with toppings and serve.
Notes
For a thinner smash-style patty, press them slightly flatter and shave 1 minute off each side. Leftover cooked patties reheat well in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes.
