IN-N-OUT DOUBLE DOUBLE – ANIMAL STYLE

With a homemade fry sauce, caramelized onions and mustard grilled patty, the In-N-Out Double Double – Animal Style is the perfect GOOD fast food burger as decoded by Kenji from Serious Eats.
The truth is I live about three blocks from the closest In-N-Out. And they are all as sweet as the shakes they sell. And the lines move quick. And the food is fresh. And they give my little ones stickers and hats. So why did I go through the effort of making this copycat recipe? Well…. A: I am a sucker for a good copycat recipe and B: Kenji from Serious Eats made it which makes me really eager to try it (like the Halal Chicken & Rice).

Kenji is a mad scientist genius and author of the not yet released cookbook The Food Lab which is already a best seller on Amazon even though it is almost a month from being released. Have you ever checked out his recipes? He is amazing and of the dozen or so I have made, I have not been let down a single time. He is a total rockstar. Just like this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 pound ground beef (Kenji recommends 60/40, I used 80/20 and it was perfect)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion , finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
• Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 2 soft Hamburger buns , (Kenji recommends Arnold, I used local bakery buns)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 dill pickles chips
• 2 quarter-inch-thick slices ripe tomato
