These burgers are great for when the weather is not conducive for grilling. The taste of burgers cooked in an air fryer is vastly superior to ones cooked on the stovetop. Because they cook really quickly, they stay nice and juicy.

Recipe Tips:

This recipe makes 3 burgers but can easily be doubled.

The air fryer will already be preheated from cooking the bacon, so go ahead and place the burger patties in as soon as the bacon finishes cooking. As an added bonus, the bacon grease in the air fryer will help flavor them.

Air fryer cooking times can vary. The burgers should be done in 8 to 10 minutes. Maybe a little longer if you like your burger well done.
