Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Total Time: 15 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns
4 slices cheese (optional)
Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles (for serving)
Ketchup, mustard, mayo (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the patties: In a bowl, mix ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Press a slight dimple in the center to prevent bulging.
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cook: Place patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Add cheese (optional): In the last 2 minutes, add a slice of cheese on top to melt.
Toast buns (optional): Lightly toast buns in the air fryer for 1–2 minutes.
Assemble: Place each patty on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your favorite condiments.
Serve hot with fries or a side salad!

Tip: Use turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat for a different twist. Add bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor!
