How To Make Air Fryer Jalapeño Popper Burger Sliders

Step 1: Patty First

Divide your beef into six servings (about 2.6 ounces). In between the palms of your hands, roll them in the balls, and then flatten them. Lightly salt and pepper on both sides. 

Step 2: Cook the Patties

Add your slider patties to your instant pot. Air fryer sizes vary, so add as many as you can without crowding the patties. They shrink as they cook. 

Cook your patties at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes in the air fryer basket. Then flip for 5 more minutes. 

Step 3: Cream Cheese Mixture

While your patties are cooking, mix in a medium-sized bowl your cream cheese, Jalapeño peppers, shredded cheese, milk, and bacon.

Step 4: Assemble Time

Once your patties are done, transfer them to the bottom half of your role. Scoop on your cream cheese mixture.

Place the top half of your roll onto the cream cheese mixture. Serve and enjoy!
