Burger Throwdown - Modified In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style

[haeffb]

This burger is based on a copycat recipe from Serious Eats Burger Lab:

http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/07/the-burger-lab-how-to-make-an-in-n-out-double-double-animal-style.html

Starts with two 2-oz patties per burger, some very softened onions, American cheese and a "secret sauce" composed of equal parts mayo and ketchup with diced dill pickles mixed in. I dispense with the lettuce and tomato - just gets in the way of the gooey goodness.

Burgers on the grill to catch a little smoke (along with two portobellos for the lovely wife who wasn't into burgers for lunch).



Ready to sear. And toast the regular ordinary hamburger buns.



After searing both sides, add some of the gooey sautéed onion and top with a half slice of cheese for each patty.



Back under the dome to allow the cheese to melt. Spread the sauce on both the top and bottom buns. Assemble. Enjoy.

That looks damn fine sir. Shrooms too.

Those look great, love that "secret sauce" on burgers!

Man, those look grate!

Looks good. I make animal style  burgers on the kettle by starting with a cast iron skillet near the coals.  I smash the meat with mustard in the cast iron before moving the patties over the coals.  To me cooking the patties with mustard is integral to making it animal style.

Looking good!  That's my favorite way to do burgers too.  And I agree with Mike, cooking in the yellow mustard is integral.

God I miss In-n-Out Burgers (they are finally in Medford, OR about 166mi South:().  Love the look of your duplicates and YES to the mustard = key kicker ingredient.
