In-N-Out-style Animal burger with the "secret animal sauce" (without the bun)! GF Friendly, ALL the GOODNESS! 🤤
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Duke's preferred)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large lettuce leaves (iceberg or butter lettuce usually work best, but today I had romaine and that's good enough :)))
- 2 slices of American cheese
- Optional toppings: sliced tomato, sliced onion, pickles
I sautéed the onion just as the burger was about cooked through, and topped them with raw tomato and pickle. So yum!!
Instructions:
1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. (I cooked these bad boys on the stovetop, but I personally think the grill would be even better tasting!)
2. Divide the ground beef into 2 equal portions and shape them into patties. (Or, if you're like me... portion out 4 equal parts and make 4 thin patties (2 double burgers). Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
3. Place the patties on the grill or grill pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level (I prefer mine mooing) :-)
4. While the burgers are cooking, make the animal sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and garlic powder.
5. Once the burgers are cooked, place a slice of cheese in between each patty and let it melt for about a minute.
6. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, then add a burger patty (or in my case the double patty) with cheese on top of the lettuce leaf. Spread a generous amount of animal sauce on top of that, then add any other toppings, (sliced tomato, sliced onion, pickles, it's all up to you!)
7. Finally, top the cheesy, topped patties with another lettuce leaf, and serve immediately.
(I was working with Romaine Lettuce and the leaves weren't very wide so I ended up laying 2 leaves on the bottom under the patties and then I ate it with a fork/knife off of the plate vs trying to pick it up and eat like you would normally eat a burger if it was on a regular bun).
*** everything except the bun (which is substituted with lettuce leaf) is gluten free! If you're serving this to someone who isn't allergic to gluten and wants the full yumminess (aka the bun) slice the bun in half, buttter each side and place in a stove top pan to let the bun heat up/light butter melts)... 🤤
Buns or No Bun... You can now enjoy your In-N-Out-style burger with their secret animal sauce! 🍔 🍟
On the side:
••• I have been frying my own French fries from russett potatoes now for months... it's taken me numerous tries to achieve the experience that I'm looking for when it comes to French fries. For me, the best kind are those pretty thick in size (but not too thick like a potato wedge... happy balance :)) that have a nice crispy crunch on the outside, but soft potato in the middle. Recipe to follow!
