frequently asked questions
can this be made ahead of time
Yes, you can prepare this copycat In-N-Out Burger Sauce up to a week ahead of time and refrigerate it.
We suggest mixing this sauce at least 6 hours ahead of time so the ingredients have plenty of time to come together.
This is not a recipe to whip together and serve immediately; the taste will not be as good.
isn't the sauce Thousand Island dressing
No, while many people think it tastes similar, the restaurant doesn't use Thousand Island dressing on their burgers.
What they use tastes like this recipe.
what is the In-N-Out burger restaurant
The In-N-Out burger restaurant was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder in California.
Interestingly enough, the In-N-Out burger became the first burger restaurant in California to have a drive-thru location and use a 2-way speaker system to communicate with customers.
For years In-N-Out burger restaurants were only located on the west coast.
However over the years they have opened up locations in other areas of the United States.
They are known for their mouthwatering burgers smothered in an orange secret sauce which are delicious with their homemade fries.
