It’s been a lot longer than I expected since my last travel adventure. One of my favorite things to do when we travel is eat! Honestly, I feel like half the time we have planned our travel around the restaurants available. When we travelled to Las Vegas, I just knew I had to try In-N-Out Burger. We do not have In-N-Out here in the Midwest, and we certainly didn’t have it when I lived in New York! So In-N-Out was something I knew we had to try. And we LOVED it. So much so that I’ve been dying to try recreating it at home! And that’s why I made this Instant Pot Copycat In-N-Out Burgers Recipe!
Why the Instant Pot?
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know that I’m basically obsessed with pressure cooking and one-pot cooking in the Instant Pot. It’s just… easy. And, when food is made in a pressure cooker, it is 100 times juicier and more flavorful. Sure, you could make burgers on the grill; but I highly suggest you try using an Instant Pot. It’s a complete game-changer.
What you’ll need for these Copycat In-N-Out Burgers
Besides your trusty Instant Pot, you’ll need only a handful of other items.
- One pound of 80/20 ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon of salt
- 1/2 of a Tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon of pepper
- Three slices of American Cheese
- 3 hamburger buns
- 1/2 of a Tomato, sliced
- 3 iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1/2 an onion, sliced
- 3 Tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing
That’s it! Read the full recipe card details below to make your very own Copycat In-N-Out Burgers. But, be forewarned: you’re going to want to make these every single day!
