Ingredients

  • 4 ⅓ pound frozen hamburger patties
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • Big Mac sauce, optional
  • Sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
  • Place the frozen patties in the basket of the air fryer. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper.
    Air fry for 6 minutes. Flip them over and salt and pepper the other side.
    Air fry for 6-9 more minutes or until they reach your preferred doneness.
    USDA guidelines recommend cooking ground meat to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
  • If desired, add cheese to the tops of the burgers. Air fry for 30-60 more seconds until melted.
  • Serve with toasted buns, Big Mac sauce, and sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles.

Notes

Nutrition calculation is based on frozen burger patties, buns, and cheese. 
Check for doneness before you reach the early side of the cooking time to ensure they do not overcook and become dry.
The exact cooking time may be different depending on your specific air fryer and the thickness of your burger. Thinner patties will cook in less time than thicker ones.
