Combining two of America’s most beloved snacks into one dish, the Grilled cheetos cheeseburger (Air fryer)cheetos crusted cheeseburger is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed by foodies, snack-lovers and burger-fanatics alike. This creative twist on a classic favorite is sure to tantalize your taste buds and have you coming back for more. Let’s discuss why this burger is so special and how you can make it yourself in the comfort of your own kitchen.

The secret ingredient behind this unique recipe lies in its combination of savory, smoky flavors and crunchy textures. The juicy beef patty provides an ample amount of flavor while the melted cheese brings out a creamy texture that complements the salty, tangy flavor of the Cheetos perfectly. Additionally, the blended Cheetos provide an unexpected crunchy texture that makes each bite extra satisfying.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE Grilled cheetos cheeseburger (Air fryer):

• 1 LB of Ground Sirloin – made in to 4 Hamburger Patties
• Garlic Salt – to taste
• Seasoned Salt – to taste
• Garlic Powder – to taste
• Seasoned Pepper – to taste
• 1 bag of Crunchy Cheetos – pulsed into crumbs
• 1 package of Hamburger Buns
• Iceberg Lettuce
• Tomato – slices
• Cheese – your favorite
• Sweet Pickles – Bread n Butter Chips

OPTIONS:

Olives, Onion slices, Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, BBQ sauce, A-1 Sauce, other favorites

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:

Open the bag of Crunchy Cheetos, and pour into a large Ziploc bag.  Smash the Cheetos into crumbs with a rolling pin, or other solid utensil.  Divide the Ground Sirloin into 4 equal portions, and make into Hamburger Patties.  Lay the Patties out on Parchment Paper, or Waxed Paper, and lightly sprinkles with Garlic Salt, Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder, and Seasoned Pepper.  Open the Ziploc bag, and sprinkle the Cheetos crumbs onto the Patties (both sides of the Patties) and gently press the crumbs into the patties. 

Lay the Patties in the Air Fryer basket, or on a grill rack if you have one.  Set the Air Fryer to 350, and cook for approximately 9 minutes on each side, to cook the Burgers to well done.  If you like your Burgers a little more done than this, leave for 1 to 2 minutes longer.  When Burgers are done to your taste, remove them from the Air Fryer, and Place them on the bottom half of a Hamburger Bun. 

Here’s where the fun comes in; build your Burger! You can add your favorite cheese, or cheeses, melted, or just placed on the burger.  Add your favorite condiments, and sides.  You can serve with French Fries, Potato Chips, Onion Rings, Corn Chips, or even more Cheetos.  Add Onion slices, or sauteed onions.  Slather on some Barbecue Sauce, or your favorite Steak Sauce.  You can even add Teriyaki Sauce, or Soy Sauce. Garnish with what makes your Burger happy.  Serve, and Enjoy!
