*** AIR FRYER UPDATE***

  • Make your hamburger patties. Air fry about 8 minutes on one side. Flip them over and finish cooking for about 4 minutes. I tested this in my NuWave oven but it should work for any air fryer.

Notes

The sauce recipe makes about 1 cup of sauce. The serving size for the recipe is 2 tablespoons. You will have sauce left over! 
*****RECIPE UPDATE*****
 
The sauce recipe can be made with "approved" ketchup!
 
Substitute "2Tablespoons of tomato sauce" with 2Tablespoons ketchup and then reduce the honey from 2 teaspoons to 1 teaspoon. The rest of the recipe stays the same.
