If you love good burgers (and who doesn't?) this truly is delicious!
With my commitment to more recipes I am posting one that some of my more sensible friends won’t want to try—I mean, does this look healthy, low calorie or low fat? And they (smart friends that I know) would be right, that the answer to the above questions are, no, no and no. But I’m here to tell you, this is worth extra time on the elliptical machine or jogging track!
I prepared the recipe (link) after Son #2 requested it. {I love it when my family requests a specific recipe!} It later appeared on Son #1’s blog site so it must be a hot ticket item on the web.
Hubby, Son #2 and I all agree, it really does taste like In-N-Out (for those of you east of Utah, this is a small, family owned burger stand that has been around since 1948 and their burgers are legend! They now have over 200 locations and when you drive by they always have a line at the drive-thru.
Note, it’s important (I believe) to have your butcher grind the chuck roast for these, as the recipe calls for—my market butcher was happy to accommodate my request. Also, Ore-Ida makes some frozen fries called “Fast Food Fries” and they were a pretty good side for these delicious burgers.
So lace up your jogging shoes and once you’ve tried this recipe you can run off the calories!

I am laughing as I read this as I just got dressed to go to the gym. That burger looks so good and I was thinking how many calories do I need to burn to work off that burger? My boyfriends brother is visiting this weekend with his kids from Denver – their 1st stop In and Out. I might have to sample the recipe over the weekend and see what the kids think. If they like it they can take it back to Denver with them whenever they get an In and Out Craving 🙂
Thanks for making me hungry at 7:30 AM! Ann

Hi Ann,
I think I mentioned in my post to be sure to use ground chuck—the market butcher was happy to accommodate my request and I really think it makes the burgers taste delicious—the recipe calls for the burger to be thin. Trust me, I am not going to be preparing these more than once in a great while for the reasons you mention—exactly how far to I have to run/walk to burn off these calories?! 🙂
Thanks for visiting me—I love your site!

Linda,
It does taste really good and it’s loaded with guilt—I’d request that they hold the guilt and you just go for it!

I figure we can only enjoy this recipe once every 3 months or so. There isn’t enough time in the day to walk the 15 miles it would take to work off the calories!
