In-n-Out Burger Animal-Style Burger
I love In-n-Out Burger. Every time I am out West I have visit one. Usually I drag whoever is with me. “A fast food burger joint?” they say. But after only one visit each of them has become a convert.
In-n-Out Burger, to me, is what a burger joint should be. It’s what McDonald’s started out as but somehow lost its way along the road to global rule. In-n-Out Burger has burgers, cheeseburgers, fries (fresh cut in the store!), sodas and shakes — and that’s about it. But EVERYTHING is fantastic.
Try this burger at home for a taste — but be sure to visit an In-n-Out Burger the next time you are in the neighborhood.
And please leave a comment below about you experiences at In-n-Out Burger and other burger joints.
In-n-Out Burger Animal-Style Burger Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil plus more for brushing
- 2 large Onions finely chopped
- Kosher Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise We always choose Duke's Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1/2 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 2 pounds Ground Beef Chuck preferably 60 - 80% lean
- 4 Hamburger Buns split
- 1/4 cup sliced Dill Pickles
- 3/4 cup Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
- 4 to 8 thin slices Tomato
- Freshly Ground Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Yellow Mustard
- 8 slices American Cheese
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add onions and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 30 minutes. (If the onions brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.)
- Uncover, increase the heat to medium high and continue to cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 8 more minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring, until the water evaporates, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. (The onions can be made up to 3 days ahead; cover and refrigerate, then reheat before using.)
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and vinegar in a bowl. Set aside.
- Shape beef into 8 patties, about 4 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with vegetable oil.
- Toast the buns on the griddle, split-side down.
- Spread each toasted bun bottom with about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture.
- Then top with a few pickles, some lettuce, 1 or 2 slices tomato and another dollop of the mayonnaise mixture. Set aside. (Keep the griddle hot.)
- Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Working in batches, if necessary, put the patties on the griddle. Cook about 3 minutes.
- Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on the uncooked side of each patty.
- Then flip and top each with 1 slice cheese.
- Continue cooking about 2 more minutes for medium doneness.
- Top 4 of the patties with caramelized onions.
- Then cover with the remaining patties, cheese-side up.
- Sandwich the double patties on the buns.

In-N-Out is a must! My favorite burger place by far. Just thinking about it makes me homesick for California! If you haven’t tried it, you’ve just gotta! Number 1 hands down!

My homesick friend told me to go to In-N-Out when I went to CA to visit. I loved it. And I brought my friend a tee shirt so she wouldn’t be quite so alone.

I HAVE TO TRY THIS HAMBURGER!!! Living in Lawton. Oklahoma which doesn’t even have a Denny’s can you believe that. I miss N / Out Hamburgers they are great. Everyone out there who has never had one is truly missing the “Hamburger Experience of a life time”.Lawton doesn’t even have Dell Taco. The state is so behind the times in so so many things

Your knock off sauce for the burger is as close as I have had to the real thing. Definitely gives the taste of eating there.

I never heard of 60% chuck. I only know of 80% and less. 60% must put out a lot of fat.
