Easy Copycat In-N-Out Cheeseburger

April King
When we are craving a good cheeseburger this Easy Copycat In-N-Out cheeseburger is our go to recipe. We especially love to make our double double cheeseburger “animal Style”. Animal style cheeseburgers are on their “secret” menu and come with yellow mustard fried into each hamburger patty, melted American cheese, grilled onions, and include extra secret sauce.
