Garlic Powder – garlic complements almost any savory dish

Burger Toppings – see recommended list below.
Buns – Use your favorite burger bun.

We just got an air fryer a week or so ago! And just used it for the first time (not for burgers). We are having burgers tonight, and with this rain, better not grill outside. Woohoo!
