The Best Air Fryer Cheeseburger Recipe

If you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal for the family, look no further. These juicy and delicious air fryer cheeseburgers are simple to make and easy to clean up after. 

Ingredients needed to make cheeseburgers in the air fryer

Ingredients:

• {1} lbs 80/20 ground beef
• {1} tsp liquid smoke
• {1} tsp worcestershire sauce
• {equal parts} To taste. My rule of thumbs is add as much as you think you need, then add some more. 
  • seasoned salt (I can’t get enough Lawry’s seasoned salt, but it is all about personal preference)
  •  lemon pepper
• {1} tsp garlic powder
• {2} slices of cheese

How to prepare air fryer cheeseburgers

1. Preheat air fryer to 360°F
2. Combine liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl
3. Add ground beef to bowl and mix in with liquids
4. Add seasoned salt, lemon pepper, and garlic powder to bowl and combine with ground beef
5. Remove ground beef from the bowl and form 2 half pound burger patties. You will want to make sure they are pretty close in thickness so they cook at the same time
6. Season each side of the patty with more seasoned salt and lemon pepper (this step is optional, but I find the extra seasoning takes you straight to flavor town)
