     Title: In-N-Out Double Double - Animal Style (Copycat)
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads, Greens
     Yield: 2 Burgers

   1/2 lb Ground chuck
     1 tb Butter
     1 lg Onion; fine chopped
          Salt
     2 tb + 2 ts mayonnaise
     1 tb Ketchup
     2 ts Sweet pickle relish
   1/2 ts Sugar
   1/2 ts Distilled white vinegar
     2    Soft hamburger buns
          Fresh ground black pepper
     8    Dill pickle chips
     2 sl (1/4" thick) ripe tomato
     2    Leaves fresh iceberg lettuce
          - white core section removed
          - torn to bun-sized pieces
   1/4 c  Yellow mustard
     4 sl Deli-cut American Cheese

 Form meat into four 2 ounce patties, thin and slightly
 larger than the size of your bun. They are meant to be
 1/4" thick.

 Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high
 heat until shimmering.

 Add onions and 1/2 ts salt to skillet.

 Reduce heat to medium low, and cook, tossing and
 stirring occasionally until onions are well browned,
 about 15 minutes.

 Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

 Once onions begin to sizzle heavily and appear dry, add
 a tablespoon water to skillet and stir.

 Continue cooking until water evaporates and onions start
 sizzling again.

 Repeat process, adding 1 tablespoon of water with each
 iteration until onions are meltingly soft and dark
 brown, about 3 times total.

 Transfer to a small bowl and set aside while leaving any
 residual butter in the pan.

 To make the burger and animal fry topping: Add
 mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sugar, and vinegar to a
 small bowl and stir to combine.

 Place closed buns in oven for 2 minutes until slightly
 darker and just the slightest bit crispy.

 Using the butter left behind by the onions, press the
 buns into the pan and toast for a few seconds until
 crispy.

 If there is no butter left in the pan, add a ½ a
 tablespoon or so to the pan.

 Season the patties with salt and pepper.

 Preheat pan on high and add the patties to the pan.

 Cook without moving until well browned and crusty on
 first side, about 2 ½ minutes.

 While they are cooking, spread about a tablespoon of
 mustard to the raw side. Flip and cook the mustard side
 as well, another minute.

 Add the sauce to each half of the bun.

 FROM THE BOTTOM UP: Add four pickles, then one slice of
 tomato and lettuce.

 Top each meat patty with a slice of cheese and half the
 caramelized onions.

 Stack two patties together and add on top of the
 lettuce.

 Top with top bun.
