Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix together all the seasoning in a small bowl.
  • Break up the ground beef in a large bowl and sprinkle the seasoning over the top.
  • Mix together with your hands and divide the dough into four 227-gram balls, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  • Shape the balls into about 1" thick (and 1/2" wider than the hamburger buns) patties. You don't need to squash the meat together or overwork the meat, but the patties should have the same thickness.
  • Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each patty, to prevent the patties from puffing up like meatballs.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F (200 °C).
  • Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer. They shouldn't be touching. You may need to do multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook for 8 minutes, flip and fry another 5-8 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the middle of a patty is 160 °F (71 °C).
  • Store cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or on the stovetop until warmed through. You can also freeze cooked patties for up to 3 months.
