Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 or purchase preformed hamburger patties
  • 1 Tablespoon chili seasoning
  • avocado oil spray
  • 3-4 slices cheese optional
  • 3-4 hamburger buns

Toppings

  • big mac sauce
  • lettuce
  • pickles
  • red onions sliced thinly
  • tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Remove crisper tray from the air fryer and insert the air fryer rack. Place crisper tray on top of rack. Preheat the air fryer on air broil to 400°F.
  • Form 1 pound ground beef into 3-4 hamburger patties about half an inch thick.
  • Season each hamburger patty evenly with chili seasoning on both sides. 1 Tablespoon chili seasoning will be enough to season all patties on both sides. Adjust seasoning to your liking as needed.
  • Make a small indent in the middle of the patty with your thumb.
  • Spray both sides of hamburger patties with avocado oil spray lightly to coat.
  • When air fryer is preheated, place hamburger patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, turn each hamburger patty over and continue to air fry on air broil for 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature of the hamburger patties reaches 145-160°F when checked with an instant read thermometer depending on your desired doneness.
  • If using, place a slice of cheese on each hamburger patty (3-4 slices cheese total) and close the air fryer basket. Leave basket closed for about 30 seconds to a minute to melt the cheese. Once cheese is melted, remove hamburgers from air fryer and set aside to rest.
  • Carefully wipe the crisper plate if you prefer to clean it, and place 3-4 hamburger buns in the air fryer basket in a single layer with insides of bun facing up, so the inside gets toasted. Air fry at 400°F for 2 minutes until buns are toasted to your liking. Continue with remaining buns as needed.
  • Place hamburger patties on buns and top with big mac sauce and toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, pickles, red onions, and tomatoes.
