Ingredients
- 4 oz ground beef 80/20 blend
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 hamburger bun crumbled
- 1 slice tomato beefsteak
- 1 slice white onion thick-sliced
- 1 lettuce leave iceberg
- 1 tbsp In-N-Out spread recipe link in full recipe
Instructions
- Prepare In-N-Out spread and refrigerate
- Shape ground beef into 2-oz thin patties
- Toast hamburger buns until golden brown
- (Optional) Grill onions until soft and slightly caramelized
- Cook patties, season with salt and pepper, and top with cheese
- Assemble with sauce, tomato, lettuce, patties, and onions
- Serve immediately
Notes
- Two-ounce patties. I'm pretty sure In-N-Out uses 2-oz patties, so make sure to use a food scale to measure them out.
- Smash them down. In order to get the classic "smash" burger experience, use a burger press to smash them down really thin. I prefer pre-smashing them ahead of time so it's one less thing to worry about on the griddle.
- Make your own sauce. Trust me, homemade In-N-Out spread is *so much* better than any bottled sauce you'll find at the store. Take the 5 minutes to make it yourself.
- The buns. It's hard to find the right bun for this recipe since In-N-Out uses a local bakery to bake their buns homemade. I've tried this recipe with both Pepperidge Farm and Arnold's buns, and I think I prefer the Arnold's.
