How to Make Butter Burgers in a Ninja Foodi
Cris here.
One of my favorite restaurants lets me order my these delicious gourmet pimento cheese hamburgers low carb style (no bun) and substitute their incredible Bacon Brussels Sprouts for fries. I love to recreate this delicious dinner at home (and in the RV) with my Ninja Foodi.
One of the best parts of using the Ninja Foodi to make these burgers is you can literally saute and air fry it all in the same pot.
Ninja Foodi Air Crisp Butter Burgers Notes
- You can make this recipe in a Ninja Foodi or you can use a skillet for the saute step and and then an air fryer/oven broiler for the crisp step.
- During the saute step, we like to use a meat thermometer to make sure our burgers reach 160 degrees for food safety reasons.
- All units can cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own unit and time adjusted as needed.
- We typically do not empty out the cooking juices between the saute and air crisp step, but you can if you would like. Just be very careful because the pot will be very hot.
- We like to top these burgers with our homemade pimento cheese but you can use whatever cheese you enjoy.

Can you do this with frozen patties?
We haven’t tried this with frozen patties, but it should work. You will want to follow the instructions on the packaging for grilling times. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!

You don’t need a Ninja Foodi for this
No you don’t “need” a ninja foodi to make this but if you have a ninja foodi this is a great way to make a good burger, and a better way if you ask me. You avoid the grease flying everywhere when cooking it on the stove in a shallow pan and you avoid the lack of crispiness when cooking them in the oven because not everyone has a grill. I think this is a great recipe
