In-N-Out Double-Double Burger is one of the tastiest hamburgers, and its recipe is almost 70 years old. So today, I will share how they make their secret recipe, how they maintain the buns’ crispiness, the size of the relish, the best beef to use, and much more.
I first tried this tasty hamburger at In-N-Out Burger in Baldwin Park, California. That outlet is almost 70 years old, and the secret recipe was invented there. It tasted perfect, and I wanted the burger never to end. So, I did a little research and finally got the perfect copycat recipe for their burger.
To make an In-N-Out Double Double, first create the spread by combining mayo, ketchup, pickles, paprika, and mustard. Then, slice the hamburger bun and toast it. Cook beef patties and place them over the bun. At last, put the spread, onion slices, tomato slices, cheese slices, and lettuce on the burger. Wrap it with wax paper, and double meat burgers are ready!
I know you’re excited to make these tasty hamburgers now. So I won’t waste much of your time.
Expert Tips That I Recommend
- You need to wet your hands a bit to flatten the beef without it sticking to them.
- Chill the patties for 10-15 minutes before heating to keep them intact.
- Do not add excess sauce to the buns as it turns them soggy.
- You need to stack the patties while they’re hot so the cheese melts evenly.
- You can use a thin metal spatula to flip it without breaking the crust.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Swap sugar for monk fruit sweetener and hamburger buns for lettuce wraps. Make sure the ketchup and mayonnaise are keto-friendly. Also, make sure you add less tomato and onion in the recipe.
- Gluten-Free Version: Instead of regular hamburger buns, use gluten-free buns, and double-check that pickles, mayonnaise, and ketchup are gluten-free. Instead of regular cheese, use naturally gluten-free cheese and also opt for gluten-free seasoning.
Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- It is better to store the burger components in separate airtight containers to maintain texture. This way it remains fresh for 3 to 4 days.
- If you want to save it for longer, just wrap the patty in a wrap and keep it in a freezer-safe bag. This will remain fresh for 2 to 3 months.
Reheating
- Skillet: Take a skillet, add patties, and warm them gently. After patties are heated, you can heat the buns in it to enjoy crispy buns.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- First, let's start by making the spread. To make the spread, take a small bowl and combine all the ingredients. Set it aside until needed.
- Now let's make the patties. Make 8 patties by shaping 2-ounce portions of beef into balls and then shape them into 4-inch circles on wax paper.
- Preheat two large sauté pans over medium/low heat for 5 minutes to toast the buns.
- To toast the buns, separate the hamburger buns. Then, place the face of the top and bottom of the bun on the pans until both become a little darkened and crispy.
- Now, cook the beef by placing 2 patties on the other pan. Add salt and pepper and then cook for 2 minutes.
- Then, flip the patties and again sprinkle salt and pepper.
- After you flip the patties, place a slice of cheese on the top of each patty. If you want the smile in your burgers, just like In-N-Out, fold 1-quarter of cheese and place it on the patty in such a way that it is folded side underneath.
- Now, place the toasted bun on the top of the burger and the slices of onion on the other bun. Cook patties for another 2 minutes.
- While patties are cooking, add 1/2 tablespoon of spread on the face of the bottom bun. Stack slices of tomato next to it and top with lettuce. Make sure to press lettuce into the palm of your hand so that the burger isn't tall.
- At last, use a spatula to stack the top patty on the onions of the second patty.

Let us know how it was!FAQs About In-N-Out Double Double
Why do my patties puff up while cooking?
The patties puff up because meat expands during cooking. You can create small indentations in each patty that help to keep them flat.
Why aren’t my patties getting a crispy crust?
Make sure you do not overcrowd the pan, as it prevents the patties from cooking properly and causes them to steam.
Why does the beef stick to the skillet?
Make sure you do not overcrowd the pan, as it prevents the patties from cooking properly and causes them to steam.
How do I prevent cheese from sliding off?
The best way to prevent cheese from sliding off is to put it on while the patty is still hot. Please sing another party over. It also helps hold the cheese, and it does not slip.
