IN-N-OUT BURGER vs HOMEMADE - The iconic battle begins!!

American cheese

🥗Healthier: Swiss cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Swiss cheese offers lower calories while maintaining flavor.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber and nutrients.

grilled onions

🥗Healthier: raw onions

💰Cheaper: none

Raw onions provide a sharper flavor with fewer calories.

spread

🥗Healthier: avocado spread

💰Cheaper: mayo

Avocado spread is healthier with good fats.

Make the special spread by mixing 2/3 cup of whole egg mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons of sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar in a bowl; mix until combined and set aside.

In a pan over low heat, add 1 finely diced brown onion and cook until soft and caramelized for 30 to 40 minutes, adding a small amount of water if they start to dry out.

Use fresh ground beef chuck with a 70/30 fat split, shape into thin round burgers, and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the burgers for 2 minutes over high heat, then flip them and spread 1 teaspoon of yellow American mustard over the burger; cook for another minute.

Add slices of American cheese on top of the burgers and then top with grilled onions.

Toast the burger buns.

Assemble the burger by adding the spread to the heel bun, followed by dill pickle chips, two slices of ripe tomato, iceberg lettuce, and the two beef patties; place the crown bun on top and serve.
