Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and slightly crispy at the edges. Carefully drain the excess fat from each cup.

Fill the center of each beef cup with the shredded cheddar cheese. Return them to the air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

While the cheese melts, whisk the sour cream and hot sauce together in a small bowl until smooth.
