How to Make A Cheetos Cheeseburger
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, it’s time to build your burger!
Add your favorites to your burger including your favorite cheese, condiments, and sides.
Add Onion slices, or sautéed 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 (and tastebuds) happy.
Serve and Enjoy!
