In N Out Burger Sauce Copycat Recipe

What you need for the Flying Dutchman Burger Sauce Recipe:
 
  • 1/2 Cup Mayo
  • 2 Tbsp Ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Sweet Relish
  • 2 Tbsp Mustard
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire

Put all the ingredients in this list in a bowl and whisk with a fork or whisk till nicely incorporated. After that place it in the refrigerator.
I still remember the first time I tried an In-N-Out burger on a road trip. The burger itself was great, but the sauce was what really stood out to me. It had that creamy, tangy flavor that somehow worked perfectly with the fresh toppings and grilled beef.
After making burgers at home for years, I finally started testing my own In-N-Out Burger Sauce copycat version of the famous In-N-Out spread. I made several batches and many mistakes along the way.

What Does In-N-Out Burger Sauce Taste Like?

This sauce is creamy, tangy, slightly sweet, and packed with classic burger flavor.
It reminds me a little of Thousand Island dressing, but not as heavy or overly sweet. The pickle relish gives it a fresh tangy bite while the ketchup and mayo balance everything out.
When it is right, the sauce has that smooth burger-joint flavor that works on almost anything coming off the grill.

What To Avoid

The first thing I noticed when testing this recipe was how important the balance is.
  • Too much ketchup makes it taste sugary.
  • Too much relish can overpower the whole sauce fast.

Tip: I used the sauce also for several other recipes.
