How To Cook Hamburgers On The Grill
- Fire up the barbeque / grill and wait till the coals are medium hot.
- Brush the grill with some olive oil.
- Burger cooking time depends on how rare you like your burger. As a rough guide cook your burger for 2-3 minutes and then flip and cook for another 2-3 mins and test it. Then keep cooking and testing till the hamburgers are as well-cooked as you like.
- Assemble the burgers by putting them in the buns and adding toppings of choice.
Recipe Tips
- Do Not overcrowd the Air Fryer – Make sure there is space between each burger so they cook evenly.
- To avoid the cheese flying off the burger, switch off the Air Fryer before topping the patties with the cheese.
- Shape the ground beef into similarly sized burger patties so that they cook at the same rate.
- You can shape these into 2 patties instead of 4, but you would need to cook them for a bit more time.
- You can use regular burger buns if you are not following a gluten-free diet.
- Toast the buns for an even better flavor.
- To make this low carb, skip the bun and serve with a salad or in lettuce wraps.
- Double up the cheese if you prefer a cheesier burger.
Delicious Variations
- Spice – Feel free to add spices to your taste into your burgers. See some seasoning suggestions below.
- Cheese – add some shredded cheese into the burger mix for extra awesome cheese flavor.
- Heat – add some chipotle or red pepper flakes for heat.
