In-N-Out Animal Style Bacon Cheeseburgers


homemade in-n-out animal style bacon cheeseburgers

Nothing beats a good cheeseburger. Cheeseburgers are probably one of my favourite foods and while I love a simple smash burger, I also like to step up my burger game every once in a while and make something a little more out there, like this Triple Onion and Brie Burger or this Burnt Ends Cheeseburger. Or, I like to make a homemade version of a fast food classic like this Wendy's Dupe Burger and now I'm sharing my recipe for a homemade In-N-Out animal style bacon cheeseburgers. Starting off with perfectly blended ground chuck patties 70/30, topped with American cheese, thick-cut grilled bacon and some homemade animal style sauce, all sandwiched between some pillowy Hawaiian buns. Make it a single, double or triple cheeseburger, add bacon or don't, but don't skip out on that animal style sauce, it is just so good.

I made one double bacon cheeseburger, one single bacon cheeseburger and a regular cheeseburger, but you can build your burgers however you like. For the double bacon cheese burger I stacked two cheeseburger patties on top of each other on a bottom bun, added three slices of bacon, special sauce then closed the bun. For the single, I added one cheeseburger patty to the bottom bun, then three slices of bacon, special sauce and closed the top. The regular cheeseburger just got special sauce on a bun.
