For the best results, start with very cold ground beef. This helps the patties hold their shape and stay juicy during air frying. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking in batches ensures even browning and prevents steaming. For a cheeseburger, add your favorite cheese slices during the last minute of cooking, allowing them to melt beautifully in the residual heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepGently form the chilled ground beef into 4 patties, about 3/4-inch thick and slightly larger than your burger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and beef base until fully combined. Brush this flavorful mixture evenly over both sides of each patty. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)
04
StepArrange the patties in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. (2 minutes)
05
StepAir fry for 7 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through, for a medium-rare to medium doneness. If you prefer a well-done burger, continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking for desired doneness with a meat thermometer. (7-9 minutes)
