Ingredients

4 frozen burger patties ¾-inch thick or whatever is available
4 burger buns any bread will do
4 slices cheese any cheese will do
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons ketchup

Optional Toppings/Fillings

Mustard
Lettuce
Tomato
Bacon

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
Carefully place the frozen burger patties (¾-inch thick) in the air fryer. Cook each side for 6-7 minutes. For a ½-inch thick patty, the ideal cooking time is 4-5 minutes on each side.
Once the hamburger patties reach 155°F, add a cheese slice and continue cooking for a minute until the cheese melts and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Then, set them aside and prepare your buns.
Spread butter on your burger bun and toast it in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 400°F. At the same time, you can also prepare the vegetable slices and other toppings you like
Enjoy your air fryer frozen burger patties! Stack your sandwich the way you like it, adding mayo and ketchup to your bun, as well as lettuce, tomato, and other toppings.

Notes

This recipe uses a ¾-inch-thick frozen burger patty that takes 12-15 minutes to cook in the air fryer, flipping halfway. If you have a half-inch patty, reduce the cooking time to 8-12 minutes, flipped halfway through.
Using a meat thermometer is highly recommended for a more accurate cooking.
The FDA suggests cooking ground beef to 160°F (71°C) or higher. Make sure to take out the frozen beef patty once it reaches that internal temperature. Cooking it for longer will dry out your burger.
Give your air-fried frozen patties 4-5 minutes of resting time. This will help to retain most of the moisture content before serving. That's why it's best to toast your buns after you air-fry your frozen burger patties.
To achieve the traditional golden brown crust, the ideal cooking temperature of burger patties is 400°F (204°C).
It will only take 3-4 minutes to toast your bun in the air fryer without preheating. However, be careful not to leave them in the air fryer for too long, as they can burn quite quickly.
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex to test air fryer frozen burger patties. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer, the thickness of the burger and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
