Keto Burger – In-N-Out Style

This Keto Burger is made to resemble an Animal Style Double Double Cheeseburger from In-N-Out. It’s gluten-free, low-carb, and super tasty, either as a bunless burger or a Keto-friendly bun.

HOW TO MAKE AN IN-N-OUT KETO BURGER AT HOME

  1. First, you’ll start by portioning out 4 (2-oz) ground beef patties. We opt for 85-15 beef. Flatten them out until they are about the width of your fist. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once melted, lower the heat, add in the diced onions, and cook until dark golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally but use this time to assemble the remaining ingredients.

  3. For the fry sauce, simply mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl or jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Once the onions are done, remove them to a plate and set them aside.

  5. Increase the heat to medium and place the burgers in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side. Once you flip, brush the tops of each burger with a teaspoon of yellow mustard. Flip then place a slice of cheese on top of two of the burgers. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes while the cheese is melting.

  6. Assemble the Keto Burgers – if using a bun simply stack from the bottom up…tomato, pickle, a patty with cheese on top, the other patty, fry sauce, onions. If using lettuce simply do the same order and wrap in lettuce.

WHAT IS FRY SAUCE?

Fry sauce is a condiment often served with French fries. It is usually a combo of one part tomato ketchup and two parts mayonnaise. We’re upping the mayo a bit for some extra fat and using sugar-free ketchup to make this Keto friendly. Our favorite sugar-free Keto ketchup is Primal Kitchen. It tastes like fancy-style ketchup, it’s good! We also use Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayonnaise.

To make this In-N-Out style fry sauce we also added in a few teaspoons of minced dill pickles, vinegar, and a Keto sweetener, we used powdered erythritol.

WHERE TO FIND UNPROCESSED AMERICAN-STYLE CHEESE?

We were STOKED to see two options in our local grocery store lately. One is from Organic Valley and Horizon Organics. Applegate also has an American-style cheese and a few other brands are floating around out there that make quality, ACTUAL cheese, American Singles.
