 Hello Friends,
I tried my hand at a copycat In-N-Out Double-Double this week. Full disclosure: I’ve lived in Ohio most of my life. I only spent a few months on the west coast after college, and I think I had one of these once. So anyone out west, let me know how I did.
A couple of things make this one work on the griddle. The onions go down first, cooked in butter until they’re soft and browned, then they sit on a cooler part of the griddle to stay warm while you cook the burgers. And since you sear each ball of beef for a minute before smashing it, it doesn’t stick. You don’t need a burger press or parchment paper, just two spatulas.
Copycat Double-Double
Ingredients
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef, divided into 6 balls
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt
- Yellow mustard
- 6 slices American cheese
- 3 hamburger buns
- Burger sauce
- Dill pickle slices
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Iceberg lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to 400°F.
- Melt the butter on the griddle, then add the diced onion and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is nice and buttery.
- Spread the onions out in a thin layer. Flip and stir them now and then until they’re soft and browned. Move them to a cooler part of the griddle to stay warm.
- Toast the buns cut side down until golden, then set them aside.
- Put the 6 balls of beef down on the griddle and let them cook for about 1 minute.
- Flip each ball over and smash it flat with two spatulas.
- Squeeze a little yellow mustard on the top of each patty, then flip so the mustard side cooks into the meat.
- Put a slice of American cheese on each patty and let it melt.
- Build each burger on a bottom bun: burger sauce, pickles, tomato, lettuce, 2 cheese-covered patties, a big pile of grilled onions, then the top bun.
I hope you give this one a try! If you make it, hit reply and let me know how it compares to the real thing. I’m especially curious what the west coast folks think.
Keep on griddling, Johnny
