A Step-by-Step Guide to BBQ Hamburgers in the Ninja Foodi

Cooking up BBQ hamburgers indoors doesn’t mean sacrificing that grilled flavor we all crave during backyard barbecues. Ninja Foodi, renowned for its versatility, can mimic the grilling experience with less fuss and more fun. This guide walks you through creating succulent BBQ hamburgers in your Ninja Foodi, ensuring each bite is as delicious as outdoor-grilled burgers.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we start, let’s make sure we have everything we need. Here’s a quick list:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, etc.

Prepping the Patties

First things first, let’s get those patties ready.

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, BBQ sauce, breadcrumbs, and egg.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty.

Cooking the Burgers

Now, let’s move on to the cooking.

1. Preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill on the grill setting.
2. Once it’s heated, place your patties on the grill plate.
3. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Assembling the Burgers

While your burgers are cooking, you can start prepping your buns and toppings.

1. Slice your buns in half and spread a little butter on each side.
2. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
3. While the burgers are resting, place your buns in the Ninja Foodi and toast them for a minute or two.
4. Now, it’s time to assemble. Place a patty on each bun, add your toppings, and voila! You’ve got a delicious BBQ hamburger.
