Try these Air Fryer Burgers and you'll think you've gone out to your favorite burger joint for a treat. The air fryer cooks juicy and delicious hamburgers every time.
Remove the insides of the bun from the top and bottom crust - tearing it in large pieces into a mixing bowl. Add the grill seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire and milk. Stir and mash together with a fork until a paste is formed. Break up the ground beef over the paste and stir together the meat and panade mixture with a fork. Transfer the meat mixture to a cutting board and divide it evenly into three portions. Form into three burgers, about 1 inch thick. Make an indentation with your thumb in the middle of each burger. (see photo in post for example).
Brush the air fryer basket lightly with vegetable oil. Arrange the burgers so they are not touching in the air fryer basket.
Cook the burgers at 350 degrees F in the air fryer (no need to flip them) for 15 - 22 minutes. Check the internal temperature before removing the burgers to achieve your desired doneness. My burgers took about 15 minutes to reach Medium temperature. Your air fryer may vary.
If desired, place a 1/2 slice of American cheese on each burger at the end and air fry for an additional 30 seconds or so, to melt the cheese onto the burgers.
Serve the burgers on toasted brioche buns with desired toppings.
