Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices Cheddar
8 slices cooked bacon
8 slider buns, split
4 leaves butter lettuce, each leaf torn in half
2 Roma tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
1 red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a loose ball, then press them flat until they are each just wider than the slider buns (they should be about 1/2 inch thick). Make a small indent in the center of each patty. Season the patties generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the patties in a single layer of an air fryer basket. Close the fryer and cook until the patties are browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the patties registers 150 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon on each patty and cook until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to the desired doneness, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully remove the patties from the air fryer and place on the bottoms of the slider buns. Top each patty with lettuce, tomato, onion and 1 tablespoon each barbecue sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. Cover with the top buns and serve.

AIR FRYER CHEESEBURGERS

I like the fact that by air frying my burgers I avoid grease splattering all over my stove top. I make 1/2-pound burger patties but you can easily make them into four 1/4-pound patties. Serve with all the fixings on the side.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 slice white sandwich bread
1 ½ tablespoons low-fat milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground beef
2 slices Cheddar cheese
2 brioche buns, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut crust off sandwich bread and tear bread into small pieces. Mix with milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well incorporated. Add ground beef and mix well. Shape into 2 equal patties. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this prevents them from puffing up.
  • Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip patties over and continue cooking on the second side, 8 to 10 minutes more. Top each patty with cheese and place back in the air fryer until cheese has started to melt, 20 to 30 seconds. Place on buns.

AIR FRYER BACON

Cook bacon in an air fryer to achieve a crispy texture with less fat. The perfect bacon sandwich starts here

Categories     Lunch

Time 12m

Yield Makes 3-6 rashers

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 rashers streaky bacon, or 3 rashers back bacon

Steps:

  • Lay the bacon in a single layer in the base of an air fryer - be sure the layers aren't overlapping. The size of the air fryer basket will determine how many rashers you can cook at one time.
  • Set the air fryer to 200C and cook streaky bacon rashers for 6-10 mins - just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins. Cook back bacon rashers for 4-8 mins, depending on your preference. If you are cooking in batches, remember that the second batch will usually be quicker as the air fryer has heated up.
  • Remove the bacon using tongs and put on kitchen paper to drain before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best results, use ground beef with a fat content of 80/20. This will help the burgers stay juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the beef well: Don't be afraid to season the beef liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the burgers.
  • Form the burgers gently: When forming the burgers, be gentle and avoid overworking the meat. This will help to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. The burgers should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: When cooking the burgers in the air fryer, make sure to not overcrowd the basket. This will help to ensure that the burgers cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers in batches: If you are cooking a large number of burgers, you may need to cook them in batches. This will help to prevent the burgers from overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Once the burgers are cooked, serve them immediately. This will help to ensure that the burgers are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Air fryer bacon cheeseburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. By following these tips, you can make sure that your air fryer bacon cheeseburgers turn out perfect every time.
