Instant Pot BBQ Hamburgers

We loved these Instant Pot BBQ Hamburgers! They were so easy to make and similar to BBQ Hamburgers that had been cooked on the grill. Some people may be wondering, “How do you cook hamburgers in an Instant Pot?”. You can pressure cook hamburgers, but we purchased our second Instant Pot a couple of months ago. It is an Instant Pot Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer. It comes with the pressure cooker lid and the air fryer lid also. For this Instant Pot BBQ Hamburger recipe, we used the air fryer lid and were completely happy with the results!

Ingredients – Instant Pot BBQ Hamburgers

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• Seasoning of Choice (We like Tony Chachere’s & Nature Seasoning)
• McCormick BBQ Seasoning
• Avocado Oil Spray
• Hamburger Buns
• Butter
• Mayonnaise

Instructions – Instant Pot BBQ Hamburgers

#1. First, mix your seasoning of choice and McCormick BBQ Seasoning with your raw ground meat to form your hamburger patties. Press your thumb down into the middle of each patty to stop them from puffing up in the middle while cooking.

#2. Next, attach the base/stand to the bottom of your Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer Basket. Then place your metal stand inside of the basket and place them into your Instant Pot. Lightly spray your metal stand and the inside of your air fryer basket with your avocado oil spray.

#3. Place your raw hamburger patties on top of your metal stand. We sprinkle a little more BBQ seasoning on top of the burgers and then lightly spray them with the Avocado oil. This will make the outsides of your burgers have a delicious crispy flavor!

#4. Then place your air frying lid on top of your Instant Pot.

#5. Select the air fry option and set the temperature at 390 degrees for 20 minutes.

#6. Your Instant Pot will display “Flip Food” across the screen when it is time to flip your burgers. We flip them, sprinkle a little BBQ seasoning on the now flipped side, and lightly spray it with avocado oil spray. Then place the air fryer lid back on to continue cooking.

#7.  After the timer has completed, we check our burgers with a digital meat thermometer to make sure they have reached their required internal temperature. We like our burgers well done.

#8. Dress your burgers with your toppings of choice and enjoy! Just a suggestion….. we used Hawaiian Sweet Burger buns. I lightly buttered the inside of them and placed them under the broiler in the oven for just a few minutes then dressed them with mayonnaise. They were delicious!!!
