Homemade In N Out Burger Double Double Animal Style Burger!

[@BallisticBBQ]

They do at mine... From Wikipedia: "The bulk of the secret menu revolves around the burgers. The company advertises that "Animal Style" is one of the most popular "secret" styles; in addition to the standard toppings, Animal Style burgers include pickles, extra spread, grilled onions, and mustard fried onto each meat patty."

[@elise2547]

Alright...I just watched this video...bought all the ingredients...made two double doubles for myself...ate them alone in total extacy...shed tear of joy...and am now going to carry those little food baby´s full term

[@dudeseriously79]

I'm guessing no postpartum depression either...:p

[@kind2311]

a full 9-hour term?

[@renjisama4630]

Elise Ernst am going to do same as you today...

[@terrygunzales9101]

deuce!

[@kind2311]

That's a fantastic replica. I eat an unhealthy amount of In N Out, so I consider myself intimately familiar with the burger, and you did a great job with some of the finer points that a lot of people ignore or don't understand. The addition of sugar and vinegar to the spread sauce was one that caught my eye. In N Out spread is very sweet and very acidic, so much so that I've actually choked a bit once or twice on the vinegar fumes when taking a big bite. I also respect that you followed the proper ingredient placement and assembly procedure, and that you made an onion jam very close to what they make. Most people just saute some onions call that enough. In N Out caramelizes theirs to the point of almost being burnt. If I could, I would like to make a couple suggestions for next time: try toasting your buns beforehand, then, place the bun top on the cheese as soon as you lay the cheese on the patty; this helps the cheese marry with the bread, and keeps the bun warm. When I make my double-doubles at home, I find(even though In N Out doesn't cook their patties this way) that smash-burger patties bring more of an authentic flavor than just a simple griddle-seared patty. Lastly, a big part of the taste of the double-double is the saltiness imbued by their only partially-melted, thick-cut cheese. A single cheese slice from In N Out is twice the thickness of the standard store-bought cheese slices. Doubling up the cheese slices and only letting them melt slightly, gives a more authentic taste due to how the cheese still stays slightly coagulated between the patties.

Omg i need to stop watching these at midnight lol

[@avadakeduhvra]

lmfao omg this is literally me right now 12:46 a.m

[@cscates3598]

Wow! 10 years ago. Your production has come a long way, and so has your BBQ tech. Cheers!

[@BrokenMachine85]

It's crazy how far you and your channel have come since this video was made. Keep up the good work, Greg!

[@dicktracy1989]

I've ate the In-N-Out 2+2 since '65. My oldest brother worked at their first location (Don Fain, 1966). The old man who started the whole thing, knew how to make burgers better than anyone. This video not only brings back memories, yet reminds me that I now need to travel about 700 miles to the nearest In-N-Out in Southern Cal to get a genuine In-N-Out double-double. (I'll go with the home-made version as guided here.)

[@kstutz81]

Grilled these for my kid years ago and followed this to the letter, it is so good! Having never been to an In & Out I can't speak for the taste accuracy, but my kid and I love these. She thinks I am grilling simple burgers tonight but the sauce is in the fridge and onions caramelizng on the stove. She's going to flip! I can't wait, its been too long and this recipe is one of my favorites.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks! Glad you guys are like'n em'!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@mrdanisthename Thank you for the kind words. I have a lot of fun shooting these vids.

[@MikeJones-ji1iz]

im fat because of your channel thanks dude

[@9929kingfish]

NP

[@donosvann]

no

[@k0ol]

close. INO toast their buns the same time they cook the burger. they season the burger only one side when its on the grill. and the onions cook in their own juices. the minute you flip the burger and cheese it, you add the grilled onion on top. and before you pull the burger you should have your bottom dressed. the only thing you forgot was the extra spread o the lettuce. and while the burger is cooking put the crown on the burger. 1:15 one side 3:45 the other side. that's the cooking ratio for their burgers. oh and a simple swirl for the fried mustard. you don't want to drown the taste for a mustard burger.

[@Ena48145]

Oh my God why don't you make your own video then

[@BallisticBBQ]

@tzkelley Five Guys about three minutes from one of our In N Outs. There are plenty of great burgers out there. This vid wasn't so much a "In N Out is the Best!" as a "In N Out is a SoCal staple that you need to hit if you visit" type video. Plus, it was just a fun cook! Thanks for checking it out.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@Cenotaff Thank you! Right now I only have a grilling/BBQ channel. That being said most of my cooks, especially this one, can be done inside. A lot of my cooks are indoor recipes that I adapt to the outdoors. Thanks for stopping by!

[@riggerw8778]

I've made these 2x now, and both have come out fantastic ! I'm on the East Coast so I don't get to have In and Out unless I travel out west for work, so these are a great substitute.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@Mastercylinder32 No comparison. I've done two seasoning burns and a few cooks and it is amazing how great this thing holds the heat. So much steel! I'm doing my first video cook as I type. Hope to have it posted tonight.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@chefsolid Thanks for stopping by.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@huntermetz2659]

I subscribed to both your channels and now I am getting into the burger kick of cooking. FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you check out my version of the Smashburger.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@KasCooks Thanks for check'n it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@MrWhatDoYouBelieve I cook on a Weber Performer, but I added a Craycort cast iron grate. Best purchase I ever made!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you John. Yes, I use a tripod for all of my videos.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes! In N Out cooks their burgers indoors on a hot flattop. A skillet or griddle on top of a stove would be perfect!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@PerceptionModified Five Brother's just opened down here. Good burgers! Thanks for watchng!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@rootboyslim Thanks for stopping by. Five Guys make a good burger too!

[@BallisticBBQ]

No. It's just minced super, super fine. Then you sauté it in a little oil very slowly. if it starts to dry out, you add a little bit of water. Just keep it going until the onion turns almost into a paste.

[@pergatron]

Good stuff. We cook a lot of indian recipes, which also call for extremely fine mincing/chopping of the onions. Often, you can just throw the onions in a blender and make a coarse paste rather than chopping them, this may be a helpful tip for someone looking to save time when making a bigger batch of these. Awesome video thank you sir!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@TangoSpiceCompany Thanks brother! That wok insert comes in handy for more than what it was designed for. Rolf says he's working on a solid "bowl" insert.

[@bionicleanime]

California and Arizona LOVES In N Out. makes me glad to be a So Cal resident

[@BallisticBBQ]

@R6bbie Grilled mustard, the heavily caramelized onions and the pickles. I'll add annotations... It was getting late and starting to drizzle outside.

[@BallisticBBQ]

I'm using charcoal, so I've never really measured the temp on the flattop, but it probably up around 400 or so. I cook them until I see the juices starting to show through the top, then give em a flip. Just a few minutes on the other side.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@wolfsheadoil1 Thanks for checking it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for stopp'n by!

[@jslime]

Man you always make killer looking stuff! People who get to eat your food are very lucky!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@IkrAIkeIN I'll do that. Thanks for the comment!

[@d307p]

I made these last Saturday on my Weber Summit Charcoal using a Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan as a griddle. Wife said they were excellent. Trying one of your different burger recipes each weekend. Thanks for the videos.

[@nzdefrag]

I made these with fire and iron, (and a tiny bit of my left little finger). Your wife said they were almost as good as your ones. That positive comment inspires me to try harder next time. By the way, you have a nice kitchen.

[@TangoSpiceCompany]

Superb cook! We have no In N Out on this side of the country so when I head west I do go get my fix. Diggin that idea of the upside down wok too!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes. The regular burger does not have the mustard grilled on the patty and the onion is just sliced and placed on the burger raw.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Love little "secret" burger joints like that.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@bowulf I guess they have some rule that they won't build more than a days drive from their meat processing plant. Bummer... Thanks for watching!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@JohnnyRehabb Thanks for watching Johnny!

[@rondagoodlet5588]

Another amazing recipe! You are killing me because it is 10: 25 pm and I want this burger Yum! thank you so much for your techniques and inspiration!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@JoeandZachSurvival Thank you Joe!

[@Spelly88]

I live in the Philadelphia area so we don't have an In N Out anywhere close to us. I've heard great things about it though so after watching this video about 40 times, I decided to give it a try. I tried to follow it exactly, except for skipping the onions part as I didn't have all that time. I've never had an In N Out burger before, but if it's anything like what I just ate, I'm a huge fan! The burger was amazing! One of my guests said it was the best burger she had ever eaten. Great video, and I can't wait to try the Smashburger next!

[@BallisticBBQ]

5 Guys is good. One location opened here about a year ago. Burger Heaven!

[@waveman0]

looks great, but I personally would only have a single patty, makes the burger easier to eat and IMO doesn't effect the overall taste.

[@Fuhgawz102]

I have that theory for any burger. The double burger is too much in my opinion. plenty of beef flavor from the right 3rd pound burger

[@eatbigtogetbig6811]

The patties have to be very thin. Take a look at my In N Out video if you want to find out how to make them ;-)

[@BallisticBBQ]

@elrabbitsbbq Exactly. "Double Double Animal Style". Cheers brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@Juggaloogy Guess that's one good thing about America... There's a burger joint for everyones taste! Thanks for checking it out anyway.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin Thanks brother... (R.I.P Dio)

[@BallisticBBQ]

Patties will shrink no matter what. You can either buy leaner meat, or make your patties a little larger to compensate for the shrinkage.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@joker5266 Thanks for check'n it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@etheromlet Oh yeah! Thanks for watching!

[@AussieAngeS]

I need to make burgers tonight and I came across your video. Yum these look wonderful! Thanks for sharing it

[@djaward]

A few pointers from a former employee -When cooking your meat, In N Out only seasons the top side of the meat. This allows for the seasoning to go into the meat when the blood begins to appear. -The cheese is folded about an inch and a half to 2 inches at the top to create that upside down smile. -Buns are toasted on a grill but not where the meat was cooked. -You need more spread than that (personal preference).

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@Mastercylinder32 I love cooking on that Craycort! Primo XL is badass! I finally scraped up enough money to have a new smoker built. Haven't shot a video using it yet, but I plan on doing one soon. I got a Party Gator from Gator Pits. Retiring the NBBD... It had a good run.

[@shadowkissed2370]

Oh my! I was born and raised in Southern Cali and on In n Out burgers. I moved with my fiance to Maryland. I miss In n Out... I am so going to try this recipe soon and I am so hoping it is truthfully like In N Out.

[@northerndownpour101]

double double "whole grill" is amazing

[@SmokeyGoodness]

We visited In n Out last summer. Sure wish they'd expand East about 1500 miles! YUM!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@IkrAIkeIN Son muy buenos! Gracias por mirar!

[@MrMegaFredZeppelin]

I remember as a child In N Out burgers started out in Southern California, Baldwin Park to be exact :) Greg I remember when my brother moved to Northern California and my mom would bring him In N Out via Southwest Airlines :) My wife and I just had In N Out last weekend and they totally shrunk the patty's :( I have had their 4X4 but not their Animal style burger :) A "BIG" thumbs up :) Right into my CULINARY playlist :) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes. You would have no problems at all using in indoor skillet.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Of course you have those wonderful Danish hotdogs!!! That's on my list of street foods to try!

[@Agorante]

Going to get up now and go to the kitchen and make a burger. Your video made me so hungry I hope I can wait long enough for it to cook. Otherwise it's going to be a 'Steak Tartare' burger.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@oogp I'd like to pick your brain someday on some of their secrets... Thanks for check'n it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@buhleedatt This was pretty tasty. Thanks for check'n it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I totally agree about the patty being too thick. Other's have mentioned the seasoning while cooking thing too, so "check". The onions though. This is an animal style burger, not a regular Double Double... I'm assuming you have insider scoop, other than just being a customer? How do you suggest cooking the onions? Thanks!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks! I will!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I know the feeling! I often watch cooking vids when I'm hungry!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yup. Hard to beat their attention to freshness.

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's pretty close! Enjoy Marie!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@misterpipesmoker We need poutine here! Thanks for checking it out!

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! The funny thing is I saw him on an episode of Burger Land! Eating at one of the burger joints!!!! I mean, come on! Practice what you preach!!!! Thanks for the comment!

[@TheMultisportGeek]

Can you discuss the various grill gear that you use? I have a no-frills Weber but none of the extra griddle / flattop attachments that you use. Oh and that burger smashing press thing as well. You know, to make the perfect smash patties with the parchment paper.

[@SuperJakethesnake22]

This guy works hard on his videos how does he not have more subscribers

[@BallisticBBQ]

Sure!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks! Yeah, I used one of those choppers.

[@SheldonBeldon]

this is such an awesome hobby- thanks for the recipe my man I'm gonna give this a try. Here in chicago there's a place on ashland called "red hot ranch" and I think they have the best fast food burger in the city. Take it easy!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Enjoy!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I'm sure he adores you anyway! Thanks for stopping by!

[@faffaflunkie]

You can buy a spread that is sold as *thousand island dressing* from an outfit called _Smart & Final_ that tastes just like the stuff at _In-N-Out._

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

My mouth is watering. We don't have any In N Out burgers in Japan. It's what I miss the most about living in California haha. Gonna have to try to make this.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Me too!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I'm going to Tulsa in the fall, so I'll check it out. Just found two there.

[@TheNikosawa]

this is the most awesome playlist on youtube !! greetings from germany i cook all your recipes thanks a lot !!!!!!!

[@SmokeyGoodness]

I was gonna get one of these bad boys just last Sunday, but there was a wrap-around line at the LAX In N Out, and I had a plane to catch.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks! I've never done a breakfast sandwich video.... Great idea!

[@Marfarf]

Spot on recipe. Tastes just like the real thing.

[@revasquez9]

This burger recipe is killer.I Cant wait to share these burgers with family and friends. thanks again

[@yungslay2986]

I did this, it was amazing definitely gonna make this all the time. probably just gonna do normal saluted onions to save time though. great cover

[@chocolatedippedroach]

you salute your onions?

[@killval849]

I make sure to salute my onions prior to cooking each time.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@DarknightVader Thank you much!

[@BallisticBBQ]

True Dewey!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for looking up the vid saan. Cheers!

[@PinotGrigio143]

Looks good! Out of a 10 being the exact taste of an In-N-Out double double animal style burger... What would you rate your homemade burger? I would love to cook it, but I'd be bummed if I messed it up, or if it tastes wayy too off.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@piperevival Amen brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

@26dominicana LOL! Sure! We've got room and plenty of food!

[@CHIKINWING]

There's no in &out burger joint here in Australia, but there will be now for lunch tomorrow! Looks the goods dude.

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's one of the steps they do at In N Out with the "Animal Style" burgers.
