Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to form a seasoning paste.
  3. Add the ground beef and mix gently with your hands just until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick; press a small dimple in the center of each patty.
  5. Brush both sides of the patties with olive oil and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space around each.
  6. Air fry for 7 minutes, flip, then cook 5 minutes more or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  7. Rest the patties on a plate for 2 minutes, then serve on toasted buns or in lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings.

Notes

- Mix the beef gently and stop as soon as it looks combined to keep the patties tender.
- Keep patties the same thickness and use a center dimple so they cook flat instead of puffing up.
- Refrigerate shaped patties, covered, up to 24 hours; brush with oil right before cooking.
- For cheeseburgers, add cheese during the last 1 minute of cooking.
