Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands or a fork to mix thoroughly.
- Divide the seasoned meat mixture into four equal portions, shaping each into a patty about ½ inch thick with a small indentation in the center.
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for approximately 6 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, gently flip each patty and continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.
- If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty after the flip and cook for an extra minute until melted.
- Remove the patties from the air fryer and let them rest momentarily before assembling on burger buns.

Notes
Choose quality 80/20 ground beef and avoid overworking the meat to maintain a juicy texture. Always check internal temperature for safety.
