Taste and texture:

These hamburger patties turn out very juicy and tender, even though they are cooked from frozen. They are not tough or chewy. The flavour will depend on the seasonings you use and the toppings you add but these beef burgers are just as good as any fast food restaurant.

Ingredients and substitutions:

Frozen hamburger patties - I personally use grass fed and grass finished all beef hamburger patties but you can use any type of frozen burger patty that you like including Ball Park frozen hamburgers, gluten free hamburger patties, and more. This cooking method will also work for frozen turkey burgers and frozen pork burgers too.

How to cook:

Step one:

First, place the frozen hamburger patties onto the tray or basket of your air fryer and then cook them for 10-12 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step two:

Next, flip the burger patties and cook them for another 10-12 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit, until the burgers are cooked through.

Chef's tips: 

• Every model of air fryer is different, so depending on the model that you have, you may need to adjust the cooking time or temperature slightly.
• Depending on the size of your hamburger patties you may have to adjust the cooking time slightly.
• Note that if your air fryer is like mine, the patties on the lower rack will take longer to cook than the patties on the upper rack so be prepared to cook them a little longer.
• Depending on how well done you like your hamburgers, you may need to adjust your cooking times: for well done, cook longer, for less well done, cook shorter (just make sure the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Be sure to leave a little space around the hamburger patties when they are in the air fryer so that they can cook properly - if air can't circulate around the hamburgers they won't cook properly.

What to serve with burgers: 

You can serve burgers with so many different side dishes but some of my favourite include:

• Waffle Fries
• French Fries
• Simple Broccoli Salad
• Asian Coleslaw
• Potato Salad

How to store:

If you have leftover cooked burger patties, store them in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days. 

How to reheat: 

To reheat hamburgers in an air fryer, simply cook them for 2-3 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
