Every once in a while, a fast food craving hits that can't be satisfied by anything other than a good ol' fashioned cheeseburger and fries. For In-N-Out fans, TikTok user @thefeedfeed has a copycat Double-Double Animal-Style Cheeseburger recipe that you can make it at home with a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. With so many simple ingredients, the real star of the show is the sweet and tangy animal-style sauce, which is composed of mayo, whole grain mustard, ketchup, and a few other basic add-ins.

Best of all, you can also cook up some animal-style fries at the same time. If you feel like mixing up restaurant chains, you could also whip up a batch of Five Guys's cajun french fries as a worthy side dish for this cheesy homemade treat. For anyone looking to skip the drive-thru — or if you don't have an In-N-Out restaurant nearby — see how to make the iconic burger for yourself ahead.
