In-N-Out Cheeseburger Sloppy Joes
Description
The dish starts by browning ground beef halfway in butter, then adding chopped onion, kosher salt, and coarsely ground black pepper. A homemade secret spread sauce blends mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, sugar, and white vinegar to create a creamy, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor that melds beautifully with the savory beef mix. Most of this sauce is stirred into the beef mixture and heated briefly to combine fully.
The sloppy joe filling is then served on sesame hamburger buns with a specific stacking order: bottom bun, reserved sauce, pickles, tomato, lettuce, meat, cheese slice, lettuce again, more sauce, and the top bun. This layering mimics the classic In-N-Out cheeseburger profile but in a saucier, more casual sandwich style.
This recipe offers a hearty, robust flavored meal that balances creamy, tangy, savory, and fresh elements for a satisfying sandwich experience.
Use freshly prepared sauce and prepare buns and toppings in advance to assemble quickly. Butter browning helps flavor and moisture in the ground beef.
