A delicious, bacon cheddar stuffed air fryer burger for any busy weeknight made in under 30 minutes!
AIR FRYER BURGERS
Air fryer burgers are super easy to make and ready in under 20 minutes making this a delicious, healthy, keto, family-friendly meal for the whole family! Add a side wedge salad, zucchini fries, or pork rinds and Greek Feta dip and dinner is done for any busy weeknight!
Air Fryer burgers takes dinner to a stress free level. No need to heat the grill or the oven, the air fryer does all the work! All you need to do is a simple flip, half way through cooking, top with cheese if desired and you're done!
A BURGER PRESS SAVES TIME
Using a burger press will save you lots of time. The burger press helps to form your stuffed burger patties perfectly. When you've got perfectly shaped burgers, you've got perfectly cooked ones as well! They cook much more evenly and you're not going to have to worry if they are fully cooked.
Use an internal meat thermometer for accuracy and you'll have a juicy, tasty, bacon, cheddar stuffed burger that the whole family will love!
Before using a burger press, I've made this recipe many times, just forming the patties by hand. You just can't get them as neat and round as when using a press. Mine originals were not picture worthy and very lumpy causing some stuffed burgers to be cooked while others that were thicker were not fully done. Spend the money and get that burger press for evenly cooked stuffed air fryer burgers!
CAN I SWAP THE CHEDDAR CHEESE?
If you're not a fan of cheddar cheese, you can definitely swap it out for another cheese you like. I'd suggest, Monterey Jack or Colby Jack or even Gouda might be good!
If you need a lactose free cheese, try goat cheese or Manchego which is made from sheep's milk. There are also plenty of vegan cheeses on the market, but be careful if you have a nut allergy as many of the vegan cheeses are made with cashew or almonds.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE AN AIR FRYER?
If you don't have an air fryer you could easily cook these in your oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Place your stuffed burgers on a baking sheet pan on the middle shelf of your oven. Bake for 10 minutes, flip over and bake another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 160 degrees F.
