Instant Pot Hamburgers are a simple and speedy way to enjoy juicy burgers without sacrificing taste or quality. This recipe delivers delicious, homemade burgers while significantly reducing traditional cooking time, and you won’t even have to get out the grill.

Instant Pot Hamburgers

Ingredients:

  • 1lb ground beef (I use extra lean)
  • your favorite ground beef seasoning (I use 1 tablespoon McCormick Grill Mates Worcestershire Pub Burger Seasoning)
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • hamburger buns
  • hamburger fixings such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or anything else you like

Instructions:

1. Start by seasoning the ground beef according to your liking. You can season the beef before making the patties, or you can make patties and then season the beef.

2. Using a hamburger press or your hands, shape the beef mixture into 3-4 patties.

3. Wrap each patty into parchment paper.

4. Place each wrapped burger in the instant pot on the trivet.

5. Place the lid onto the instant pot and seal shut. Close the pressure release valve. Set the instant pot to manual, high pressure for 10 minutes.

6. When cooking is complete, quickly release the steam and very carefully open the pot.

7. Remove the instant pot hamburgers using tongs and serve immediately. If adding cheese, do that quickly so it melts onto the burger just before serving.

  1. You have water listed in the ingredients, but the directions do not say where the water should go… I’m assuming it goes in the instant pot in the bottom. But I don’t want to do it wrong. Thanks!
