Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Ground beef About 8 ounces, split into two 4oz portions; 80/20 recommended
  • 2 tablespoons Water or beef broth 1 tablespoon per packet
  • Salt and Pepper To taste
  • 2 tablespoons Diced onion (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar-free ketchup 1 tablespoon per packet
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard 1 tablespoon per packet
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices 1 slice per packet
  • Low-carb buns or lettuce wraps (Optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Grab your heavy-duty aluminum foil. You'll need two pieces, roughly 8x10 inches each.
  • In a small bowl, gently combine your ground beef, water or broth, salt, pepper, and the diced onion if you're using it. Do not overmix! Form the mixture into two small patties.
  • Lay out your two pieces of foil flat. Place one patty on one side of each foil piece.
  • Dollop 1 tablespoon of sugar-free ketchup and 1 tablespoon of mustard right on top of each patty.
  • Place one glorious slice of cheddar cheese over the ketchup and mustard on each patty.
  • Carefully fold the foil over the patty and all those delicious fillings. Crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
  • Carefully place your two foil packets into the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 10–12 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the packets from the air fryer. Open them up (watch out for hot steam!). Serve them warm – either sliding them out onto a plate, or placing them on your favorite low-carb bun or wrapping them in fresh lettuce.

Notes

Use Heavy-Duty Foil and seal packets tightly to prevent leaks. Watch out for hot steam when opening packets.
