The Juiciest Air Fryer Hamburgers

Ingredients
1 pound (450 g) ground beef 80/20
2 teaspoons (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Preheat the Air Fryer to 370°F/190°C for 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to combine well, but do not overwork to get a better texture.
• Divide the mixture into 4 portions (about half an inch thick), and gently flatten and shape into patties, making an indent in the center of each patty with your thumb or the back of a spoon.
• Place the patties in the air fryer, and cook for 6 minutes, flip the patties and cook for 3 more minutes. Add cheese in the last minute of cooking if using.
• Remove the patties, and assemble them with your favourite condiments
