Why is it called In N Out?
It all started in 1948 when Harry and Esther Snyder opened a burger joint with a car-hop ordering system.
This approach was very popular at the time in California, so the couple decided to give it a try. And it’s what led to its now-iconic name.
In-N-Out got its name from the way staff took orders. Instead of customers entering the restaurant, they would stay in their cars and staff would approach them. Then, once they took the order, they would come in to order and retrieve the food for a simple “in-n-out” transaction.
In-N-Out soon became one of the most beloved burger joints in the country, and now has more than 300 locations.
Unfortunately, they are almost all on the West Coast.
Luckily, you can bring some California sunshine into your own kitchen with this recipe for their signature sauce.
What is In N Out sauce made of?
While many people confuse the iconic In-N-Out sauce with Thousand Island dressing, the two are not the same.
They have similar flavor profiles, creamy and salty with a bit of flavor, but the Thousand Island dressing has a bit of a kick, thanks to the addition of tabasco sauce or paprika
. In
contrast, In-N-Out sauce is a bit sweeter and not spicy at all.
In-N-Out sauce is made with five common pantry staples that you probably already have on hand:
- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise White
- vinegar
- Granulated sugar
- Sweet pickle
seasoning Together, these simple seasonings create a sweet, creamy, spicy sauce that’s perfect for burgers, fries, fries, and more.
How to Make Homemade In N Out Sauce

.

Howto use In N Out sauce In addition
to spreading it on burgers and sandwiches, here are some other delicious ways you can make use of this fantastic sauce:
In addition to fries, this is actually the same sauce
- In-N-Out uses for its animal fries!
- On meatloaf: Instead of ketchup, use this sauce to top that block of meatloaf.
- In baked potato – it is a great alternative to sour cream.
- In fish and chips: get rid of the tartar sauce and use it instead.
- In grilled cheese – cheese and bread + In-N-Out sauce = sky.
- Like salsa, to chips, crackers, fried treats, chicken fingers, you name it.
How to store In N Out sauce
In-N-Out sauce has a fairly long shelf life, so I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe
.
Store in a container or squeezed bottle and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
If you want to store it longer, put it in the freezer!
Place it in an airtight container, leaving about half an inch of space on top (sauces expand when frozen).
Label the container accordingly and freeze. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Place it on the counter to defrost it a few hours before use.
