In-N-Out Sauce - A Copycat Recipe | Greedy Gourmet

Question 1

What do I serve with In-N-Out sauce?

Accepted Answer

Fries, every time! Not just any fries though. Check out my recipe for In- N-Out’s famous Animal-Style Fries. They’re so easy to make and they taste just like the real thing!

Of course, you always go for standard French fries. For me though, Animal Style Fries are the authentic way to go.

Don’t just serve it with fries though! In-N-Out sauce works so well as a classic burger sauce. Throw some grilled onions on top of your favorite burger patty, a slice of cheese, spread a big helping of In-N-Out sauce and you’ll be in burger heaven!

Question 2

Why is it called In-N-Out?

Accepted Answer

The very first In-N-Out Burger opened in 1948. The creation of Harry and Esther Snyder, it was based on the car-hop system that was popular in California at the time.

Customers would pull up in the car park, an employee would come to their window and take their order and serve their food. In-N-Out!

It went on to become one of the most popular burger fast food joints in the country. It’s still family owned and family operated! Now, there are now over 300 In-N-Out restaurants in the US, most of them on the West Coast.

Question 3

What is the In N Out sauce made of?

Accepted Answer

In N Out is all about keeping it simple. That’s why you can count the number of ingredients in the sauce on one hand. Yep… just 5 ingredients! Mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, sugar and white vinegar. That’s it!

Question 4

What’s the difference between In-N-Out sauce and Thousand Island dressing?

Accepted Answer

Thousand Island dressing normally has a bit of a kick to it. It can contain anything from tabasco and paprika to Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.

In-N-Out sauce is sweeter and not at all spicy.

Question 5

Is In-N-Out sauce vegan?

Accepted Answer

In-N-Out sauce contains mayonnaise, which is made using eggs. So no, In-N-Out sauce is not vegan.

However, you can make a vegan In-N-Out sauce with a simple substitution. You could swap in hummus, mashed avocado (this will affect the color) cashew ricotta, macadamia nut butter or a plant-based mayo alternative.
