In-n-Out Copycat Recipe: Double Double NO Animal Style!

In-n-Out Copycat Recipe:

Double Double NO Animal Style!

Picture
When we first started this blog, one of the first things we tried to recreate was a vegan version of In-n-Out's Double Double burger. It was a sad attempt- bad photography, ingredients that weren't quite right, and the flavor just wasn't there. But 4 years later, we vegans are blessed with some amazing advances in the way of faux meats and cheeses, and our photography has gotten quite a bit better. If you're not from around here, you may not realize the cultural significance of In-n-Out on Southern California, but it is considered the best of the best in the fast-food world and has longer drive-thru lines than I've ever seen anywhere else. A 'double double' means two patties & two slices of cheese, and animal style is when they slather it in their thousand island-style sauce and grilled onions. In fact, its the first meal I ever ate when I came to California!
As the base for this burger, we used the amazingly meaty new patty from Beyond Meat, the BEAST BURGER. Yup. The beast burger. Its totally beastly, and would totally fool even the most regular of beef burger eaters. And it was the perfect substitute in this burger. It kept the flavorful, umami taste of a normal In-n-Out burger, but doesn't leave you feel guilty after eating a double stack. We slathered it in homemade 'sauce' and topped it with fresh slices of tomato and lettuce. Craving a juicy burger? Let's do this!

INGREDIENTS
Spread
1/2 cup vegan mayo
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons relish
2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar
1 teasoon lemon juice
salt + pepper to taste

Onions
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 large white onion, diced
1/4 each salt + pepper
4-5 tablespoons cold water

Burgers
1 teaspoon oil
2 Beyond Meat Beast Burger patties
2 slices vegan american cheese (we used Follow Your Heart slices)
2 tablespoons mustard
4 dill pickle slices (optional)
2 seedless burger buns

DIRECTIONS
Spread
In a small mixing bowl combine mayo, ketchup, relish, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Set aside.

Onions
Heat oil in a medium cast iron pan over medium heat. Add diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, adding 1 tablespoon of water each time onions begin to dry out. Repeat this process until onions are dark brown, soft, and caramelized. Keep warm on low heat or set aside.

Burgers
In the same or another large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Place two patties on the pan, and slather the top of each patty with 1 tablespoon mustard. Cook about 2 minutes on now side, until the patty is beginning to brown and crisp. Flip, add a slice of cheese to each patty, and fry patties in the mustard for another 2 minutes or so, until cheese is melted. While burgers cook, place buns bottom side down in a greased frying pan and heat about 1 minute on each side, until edges just begin to crisp.
Remove from heat, and top with spread, pickles, burgers, onions, tomato and lettuce. Then EAT!

When I lived in California for 17 years (before going vegan) In-n-Out was one of my favorites and I would beg my mom to pick me up a burger, fries and a chocolate milkshake. I'm shuddering at the idea now that I know what actually goes in to making all of those. This burger looks incredible, I'd definitely make it with some fries and a cruelty-free chocolate smoothie on the side!

How do the Follow Your Heart slices compare to Field Roast Chao slices? Please let me know. Thanks!

They are almost the same. They are made in the same place, but follow your heart has more traditional flavouring in my opinion.... As far as texture and such, they are the same, it's just the flavouring that's different. I prefer the follow your heart (earth island in canada). I've never had the beast burgers, but I use the field roast hand formed burgers, and they're amazing.

Hi Lydia! I actually haven't had the pleasure of trying the new Field Roast Ciao slices, but the FYH slices were great!

Wow! I clicked on this link because I was confused about why a vegan blog would post a meat burger haha. This looks incredible. Definitely looks like vegan burgers have come a long way since I've tried them

I've had In-N-Out burger before I became a vegetarian. I agree with you, the lines for In-N-Out can get IN-SANE! It's great to see a copycat meat-free version of it. This burger looks YUM! I was never crazy over their "secret sauce" though :)

Grew up in So Cal with In-N-Out all my life. Been Plant Based for over 4 years now & when I visit (live in Maine for 14 years now) this is one thing I "miss" but I will try the beast burger version & see how it stacks up to my memory. Of course, I am very happy NOT to eat those original Double-Doubles for the sake of the animals, the environment & my health!

Looks amazing and delicious. I live in California and In-n-Out was part of my life. I do sometimes get the In-n-Out urge although honestly I can't imagine eating there now. I am happy you did this. One double double un-animal style, please!

Are the beast burgers at least non GMO?

This looks incredible! I can't wait to try it out. I was never a fan of the spread but I might have to make it for my husband(nonvegan) so he will see how good the vegan version is!

I'm disappointed Beyond Meat uses carrageenan.

I need to avoid carrageenan, to avoid digestive problems, and I was thinking that the Beast Burgers were something I definitely wanted to try. But I guess not.
Thank you for noting that they have carrageenan.

Everything looked good till I looked at the burgers, yes they are vegetarian but have you people looked at the ingrediants? I will pass on the burgers, it is like eating a chemical factory. The sauce is fantastic though thank you

Beast Burgers are great, but they really are huge. I am a guy and even when I am hungry, I have trouble finishing even one of these! I cannot imagine trying to down TWO at once! I do find that avoiding huge buns is helpful, the one in the photo is too bready for me. I like an English Muffin burger - less bread, more burger and fillings!
