Make your own Onion-Wrapped FLYING DUTCHMAN burger at home – it’s even better! If you’re a fan of grilled onions like me, you’ll love giving this a try. It’s so delicious!
Try making the viral Onion-Wrapped Burger from In-N-Out at home, and trust me, it’s even better! No bread buns, but you won’t miss them. The onions are perfectly caramelized, bursting with umami flavor – way better than lettuce or tomato-wrapped burgers!
Every burger joint has its own “secret formula” for burger sauce, but many use a similar base of mayo, ketchup, and mustard. In my opinion, In-N-Out has the best spread compared to places like Shake Shack. It’s not too thick, giving you the perfect balance of tanginess from pickle relish and sweetness from ketchup, cutting down on the heaviness of the burgers.
