Sometimes, nothing tastes better than a hot hamburger. You can dress one up with lettuce, tomato, onion… You can fry it in bacon grease… you can make it a beer burger or a veggie burger… you can serve it with chips too… or just slice it into a burger and pile on grilled cheese, a fresh baked potato, or even a BLT sandwich. But, if you want a quick and easy alternative to grilling or frying, you can depend on an air frying technique to bake, grill, or fry a burger in such a way as to turn them into.

Cooking the classic hamburger or cheeseburger in the air fryer

With his or her own mix of secret sauce or spices, people have their own ways of dressing up a ground beef burger. Some people like spicy or tangy burgers with flavors like pickles, cayenne, or mustard, and others gravitate toward saltier or sweeter flavors. Grilling is a favorite way to cook these customizable burgers.

Feast on these smoked beef patties teamed up with spinach and strawberry salad. There is no vegetable in this recipe! Without some kind of internal constraint, it’s likely these burgers would be much more oily than your preference. However, if you are watching your fat intake, then it substitutes away. No carbs? No problem! Wrap each patty between two slices of lettuce and enjoy! You can also forgo the salad by serving these burgers on your favorite chips.

 

We all love our burgers a certain way, so why not save the time it takes to make them the authentic, traditional way? If you use airline fryer, you won’t regret it!
