Ingredients

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground beef burger patties 7% fat
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cheese slices of choice divided
  • 1 large yellow onion cut into 4 x 1/2 inch thick rounds

For IN-N-OUT sauce:

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or lite mayo
  • 3 tbsp relish or chopped pickles
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey or agave
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard

Instructions

  • Start by making the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Sprinkle your patties with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside to reach room temp.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil and cook the onion rounds until golden brown on both sides. About 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Add 2 of the cheese slices on 2 onion rounds and set aside on a plate. Cover to keep warm and help the cheese melt.
  • To the same preheated skillet, add the patties and cook until it start to get golden brown for about 3 minutes per side, then flip them and add the remaining cheese slices of 2 of your cooked patties. Continue to cook for 1 more minute, or just until the cheese starts to melt.
  • Quickly assemble the burgers on a clean plate; Starting with the grilled onion without cheese as your base, stack the rest as follows: patty without cheese, the second patty with cheese, then finish off with the onion with cheese.
  • Serve with a drizzle of the yogurt sauce and enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • Do use large onions 
  • You can use lean ground chicken or ground turkey.
  • Use any cheese of your choice like American, cheddar, or provolone.
  • Work with care. It is a bit messy and hard to handle when making. It is expected so just work slowly when assembling the burger.
