Instructions
BBQ Sauce 0 Add the tomato sauce, water, honey, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. 2 Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Gradually add 1 tsp. of arrowroot powder or cornstarch at a time while whisking and allowing the sauce to simmer for a few minutes between each addition. If you want a thinner sauce, use 1-2 tsp, if you want thicker, add more. I find 1 Tbsp. is a great consistency. Be sure to whisk well while adding the arroworoot or cornstarch to avoid clumping. 3 Remove from the heat and let the barbeque sauce cool completely while you cook your burgers and bacon. Burgers 5 Season the burgers with your preferred burger seasoning on both sides, ½ tsp per side. I like using Kinders Steak Blend. 6 Add the burgers and slices of bacon the air fryer basket. Cook at 380 for 8 minutes, flipping both the burgers and bacon halfway through. This will give you a medium to medium-well burger. Cook 3 mins each side for medium-rare and and 5 mins each side for well-done (160 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature using a meat thermometer). 7 If adding cheese, top the burgers with cheese and cook for an additional 1 minute until melted. 8 Assemble your burgers with a bun of choice, I like using Brioche buns. Top your bottom bun with lettuce, then burger patty, then bacon, tomato, pickles, onion, and 2 Tbsp. of homemade barbecue sauce.View original recipe
