Air Fryer Burgers + Hot Dogs

Hotdogs and burgers kind of go together in the Summer. Forget taking time to light up the grill! These Air Fryer Hot Dogs and Burgers are ready in 7 minutes.

The ideal place to cook burgers and hot dogs are outdoor on a grill but did you know you can cook these 2 items in your air fryer? Even at the same time? Imagine that it’s raining or pouring out and you don’t even want to go outside and light up those coals because you don’t want to get wet. Enter your air fryer. The perfect device to save you in this type of situation and if you don’t have an air fryer at your lake cabin yet why haven’t you bought one? 

What’s nice about cooking hot dogs and burgers in your air fryer is that both items cook for about the same amount of time. So, on one side of the air fryer, you could have hot dogs cooking and on the other side, you could cook some burger patties. That is if you have a large enough air fryer basket. Who needs a grill anyway if you have an air fryer right? Since hot dogs and burgers are oftentimes served together (they are in my family anyway) I decided to just do one single post on both items. 

Speaking of air fryers I am working on compiling a recipe Ebook that has all air fryer recipes in it. I have been wanting to do this for a long time now and I have even been going through old recipes on this site and updating them with air fryer cooking times and temperatures. I don’t know why this has taken me so long to do this but I’m finally going to do it and hopefully, it should be ready by Fall. *Fingers Crossed*

Air Fryer Burger Tips

• One thing that amazed me when cooking burger patties in my air fryer was that they did not shrivel up and shrink as burgers do on a grill. My burgers were well cooked in 7 minutes and if you are aiming for a medium-rare burger I do 5 or 4 minutes. 
• Can you cook burgers and frozen french fries in the air fryer at the same time? Yes you can. Frozen french fries take longer than the ground burgers do so start with those first.
• Can you cook frozen burger patties in air fryer? Yes, for another 3-5 mins
• Types of burgers you can make in air fryer: black bean burgers, veggie burgers, chicken burgers, turkey burgers, etc.
• 93% lean ground beef is 3 oz for 4  points, 96% lean ground beef is 4 oz for 2 points. That to me is an incredible difference in the points so if you can find 96% go ahead and try it. I bet you’d really like it.
• Always be sure to use a meat thermometer to check your burger for proper doneness.

Rare 120 to 125 

Medium Rare - 130 to 135
