Ingredients

2 frozen hamburger patties
1 pinch salt (optional)
1 pinch black pepper (optional)
2 slices cheese (optional)
2 burger buns (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3–5 minutes.
Place frozen hamburger patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 6–7 minutes without disturbing.
Flip the patties and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Cook for another 6–8 minutes until fully cooked.
Check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F using a meat thermometer.
Let the burgers rest for 2 minutes, then add cheese if desired and serve on buns.

Cook burgers to an internal temperature of 160°F for safety. Add cheese during the last 1–2 minutes for best melting. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Season after flipping for better flavor adhesion.
