    These air fryer frozen hamburgers are juicy and tender, cook in about 10 minutes, with no thawing necessary.

    Who knew how easy cooking frozen burgers in the air fryer could be?! They're an absolute gamechanger for weeknight dinners when you don't have time for the meat to thaw.

    You also don't have to worry about heating up the house from baked hamburgers or firing up the grill outside.

    Easy Air Fryer Frozen Hamburgers

    Cooking burgers in the air fryer is quick and easy! Here's what you'll need:

    • Frozen beef burgers: I use grass-fed beef patties from Costco's Kirkland Signature line or ButcherBox. They're dairy free, egg free, and gluten free.
    • Salt and pepper: You'll want to be generous with seasoning.
    • Oil spray: Adding oil spray to the beef patties will help keep them juicy!

    Air Fryer Burger Temp and Time

    Cook frozen hamburger patties in air fryer at 350°F for about 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through. This ensures that the patty cooks evenly.

    Tips for Cooking Hamburgers in Air Fryer

    • Don't preheat the air fryer! Doing so could cook the outside of the burger quicker than the inside.
    • If you're doubling the recipe or cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce the cook time by a couple minutes.
    • For quick cleanup, line the bottom of your air fryer with aluminum foil.
    • Keep a close eye on the burgers, as cooking times may vary depending on what type of air fryer you use.

    Best Hamburger Side Dishes

    Serve your burger alongside these tasty sides:

    • French fries
    • Onion rings
    • Macaroni salad
    • Baked beans

      Oaky!!! This is a game changer for me. My kids ALWAYS want hamburgers but I don't always want to get the grill out and I don't really like cooking them on the stovetop. This was perfect.. the kids gobbled them up and it was so easy.
