Ingredients

• 1 or more Kirkland Frozen Hamburger Patties

• Optional:

  • Burger buns, cheese slices, and toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Patties

• Place frozen patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket

• Do not stack—leave space around each patty for even air circulation

• No oil or seasoning needed (unless you want to add seasoning before cooking)

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook frozen patties at 375°F for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through

• Cook thawed patties at 375°F for 8–10 minutes

• Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for ground beef

Step 4: Optional—Add Cheese

Place a slice of cheese on top of the patties in the final 1–2 minutes of cooking. Close the basket to melt without further cooking.

Step 5: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving—this helps lock in the juices.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip Once for Even Browning

Turning halfway ensures both sides cook evenly and stay juicy.

Use a Meat Thermometer

Always check for an internal temp of 160°F to ensure food safety.

Toast the Buns in the Air Fryer

Add buns for the last 1–2 minutes to warm and lightly toast them.

Avoid Pressing the Patties While Cooking

This squeezes out juices—let the air fryer do the work.
