Air Fryer Ground Beef

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Did you know you can cook ground beef in your air fryer and then use it for any of your favorite recipes!? Trust me on this one, it is such an easy and simple way to cook ground beef. It comes out crispy and juicy. Plus, all the fat falls to the bottom of the air fryer!

Did you know you can cook ground beef in your air fryer and then use it for any of your favorite recipes!?

Have you ever grabbed a higher percentage of fat beef than you wanted? I have done it too, don't worry. Higher percentage beefs are typically cheaper and easier to find; therefore, I always end up with some.

All the fat can sometimes ruin your recipes; therefore, I found way to EASILY cook out the fat. The air fryer method is perfect because you don't have to babysit the meat, like you would on the stovetop. Plus, it comes out crispy and without any fat.

The fat slips through all the little cracks of the air fryer basket and you are left with just the delicious meat. I will show you, but, I am warning you, this is a gross picture.

Beef Fat

Imagine having all of that fat in your delicious recipe! Even if you are not looking for low fat content, too much fat can really ruin a dish you are trying to make.

What You Need to Make Ground beef in the air fryer recipes 

You will obviously need an air fryer. I love my Ninja double basket. The one side is the perfect size to cook a pound of ground beef. This is not a recipe where you can use a toaster oven/rack style air fryer. You really need the basket type.

Next, you will need the ground beef. Any type of ground beef will work. I love the Butcher Box one because it tastes AMAZING but it just needs a lot less fat. The Butcher Box one is heavily compacted so it stays together nicely in the air fryer.

I put a little bit (2-3 tablespoons) of seasonings on my ground beef as I cook it. The seasonings you use will vary depending on the type of recipe you want to use this in. You can do Mexican, Italian, Pizza style. Really, any seasonings should work.

Finally, you need either a wooden spatula or a meat chopper to spread out and mix the ground beef. I love using a meat masher when I cook meat on the stove or in my air fryer.

How to Make Ground beef in the air fryer recipes 

Start by preheating the air fryer to 400 degrees. Grease the basket with cooking spray.

Add in the ground beef and break up the ground beef a little to cover the bottom of the air fryer. Sprinkle with half your seasonings.

Then, air fry for 5 minutes.

Break up and flip over the ground beef some more. Then, sprinkle with the remaining seasonings.

Air fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until fully cooked. However, you can cook it longer if you like it extra crispy.

How to Use the Air Fryer Ground Beef in Recipes

I made this with taco seasonings and made tacos; however, you can choose many different types of seasonings to make many different recipes using this air fryer ground beef.

For more of a takeout style dish, try:

  • Bulgogi ground beef
  • Ground orange beef

If you are thinking more of a taco style, try:

  • Nacho casserole
  • Bell Pepper Nachos
  • Sweet asian taco meat

Wanting more of an Italian style? Then try:

  • Pizza pasta lasagna
  • Bolognese

Thinking more classic American? Try out:

  • Bacon burger Mac and cheese
  • broccoli bacon beef pasta
  • Cheesesteak stuffed peppers

Truly, the possibilities are endless!
