INGREDIENTS
- Olive oil spray for the baking dish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lb. extra lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion finely chopped (6 oz)
- 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup avocado oil mayo
- 1/4 cup unsweetened ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar divided (6 oz)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the beef and onions. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and the onions are soft, approximately 5 minutes.
- If there’s excess liquid in the skillet, drain it before returning the mixture to the skillet.
- Stir in kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir for an additional minute.
- Turn off the heat. Add mayonnaise, unsweetened ketchup, mustard, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the skillet. Mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to an air fryer-safe dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Air fry the casserole at 400 degrees F until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Keep an eye on it, ensuring the cheese melts evenly and the casserole reaches the desired temperature.
