Instructions
-
Place the ground beef, shredded cheese, egg, onion powder and bacon into a medium-sized bowl.
-
Gently work the mixture together with your hands, trying not to overwork the mixture or heat it with your hands. Cold hands are best!
-
Form two evenly sized logs with the beef mixture and then cut each in half. Take these halves and form into loose balls.
-
In a small tupperware container or something similarly sized, put one ball of ground beef. Using a potato masher, press down to form the beef to the patty sized container (again, do so loosely).
-
Flip the container and push out the patty onto a baking sheet. Repeat the process until you have four 1/4 pound patties formed.
-
Place each patty in the air fryer basket, with space between each.
-
Start the air fryer at 370 °F for approximately 12 minutes. When complete, flip the patties and cook for another 12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
-
Remove, add to bun, add toppings of choice and enjoy!
Notes
All air fryers are a bit different, yours may require you to cook for more or less time than we specify so be sure to keep an eye on your burger every 5 minutes or so to see how it's progressing. If 12 minutes per side isn't enough, give it another 2 minutes until you reach the right temperature. As long as you make sure it reaches the minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F you are good to go!
