![]() ![]() ![]() That slightly tart note of yogurt is so appreciated in this spread because it balances the sweetness of the ketchup and relish. Some recipes will call for white vinegar, too, (Food Network’s fabulous adaptation of In N Out’s famous burger does), but I used nonfat Greek yogurt in place of half of the mayo (to reduce calories), and the natural tang it provides is enough to skip the vinegar altogether. To achieve that same sweet and tangy pickled flavor with a creamy consistency, you need 3 main ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet pickle relish. The famous “spread” that you find smeared on In N Out burgers tastes a whole lot like Thousand Island dressing. Shredding the cheese myself allowed me to top each patty with about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese-which is plenty for such thin patties, especially knowing there are A Lighter Secret Sauce, aka “Spread” My remake is 450 calories - 220 calories lighter than the classic Double Double at In N Out, which clocks in at 670 calories!Ĭheese is the struggle, isn’t it? In order to cover 2 patties, I decided to shred my cheese rather than using 2 slices, since each slice of cheese typically weighs around an ounce and can run you between 80 and 100 calories. Since the patties are so thin, they only require a quick sear on both sides. Once done, I top them with the In N Out traditions: cheddar cheese, finely chopped sauté ed onions, shredded lettuce, tomato, and homemade “spread.” ![]() I seasoned the patties with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and grilled them on my Staub Cast Iron 12-inch Steam Grill -which is a large grill pan I can set on my stovetop, and the great thing is, after I get those perfect grill marks on my burgers, I can put the cheese on top of the patties, cover the pan with with the lid, and let the cheese melt. Having 2 to stack, even though the portion of meat stays the same overall, gives you a sense that you’re eating more. If you’ve ever eaten at a fast food place, you know how thin those patties are. In full-on summer grilling mode, I was inspired to make a homemade In N Out burger, with 2 ultra-thin patties–each patty weighing only 1/8th pound, rather than 1 slightly thicker ¼-pound patty. Homemade In N Out Burger Recipe with Lighter Secret Spread Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and reeked of quality. A few years ago, on a trip to California, I went to In N Out and ordered a Double Double burger and I have to say, I got the hype. A perfectly pink-middled, well-built cheeseburger is more exciting to me than most things. And even though I’m team Shake Shack, I am fascinated by how beloved In N Out is on the west coast. People get fired up about their burgers, and I get it. Every time I'm on 43 North or South within 50 miles of Kopps and see an accident I say to myself 'they aren't drunk, they just ate at Kopps.Should we or should we not add burgers to the list of things not to talk about in polite company - in addition to religion and politics? Because burger choice is very personal, and just think about the number of times you’ve innocently waded into a pool of steaming hot water over talk of the best burger place: In N Out or Shake Shack? Or what about Five Guys? (The answer is Shake Shack btw). The burgers and fries are great too, but why bother when you can cram 3500 calories into an ice cream cone. There are very good heart hospitals in Milwaukee which is good, because eating their custard is like opening your chest and putting marbles in your aorta. Anyway, it is the richest, creamiest, tastiest custard I've ever had in my life. My by far favorite was butter brickle but they don't seem to offer that very often, at least not when I'm up there. ![]() It does amaze me that so many of the clientele actually make the 50 foot walk from their car to the restaurant, No matter what the special is you can't go wrong. So, after it became Kopps you had to actually get out of your car and walk in to get served. Of course, even back then, on weekend nights it got out of control. Used to be called the milky way and was a drive in that had car hop service. Like Pandl's, I've been going here since I was a kid. ![]()
