As far as I'm concerned, there's no better burger on earth than a Double-Double Animal Style from In N Out Burger. If you've ever had the pleasure of eating one, you know exactly what I mean. From their (not so) secret menu, this burger is loaded with sweet caramelized onions, an extra stack of pickle chips, fresh tomatoes, and patties fried with mustard directly on the griddle. Add to that extra special sauce and a soft, fresh bun and you have something burger dreams are made of. In N Out isn't available everywhere - but with this ingenious copycat recipe, you can make them at home... Just in time for the Superbowl:

Makes 4 burgers

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing 2 large onions, finely chopped Kosher salt 1/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar 2 pounds ground beef chuck (preferably 60 percent lean) 4 hamburger buns, split 1/4 cup sliced dill pickles 3/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce 4 to 8 thin slices tomato Freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup yellow mustard 8 slices American cheese

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and 3/4 teaspoon salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 30 minutes. (If the onions brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Uncover, increase the heat to medium high and continue to cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 8 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring, until the water evaporates, about 2 more minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside. (The onions can be made up to 3 days ahead; cover and refrigerate, then reheat before using.) Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and vinegar in a bowl; set aside. Shape the beef into 8 patties, about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with vegetable oil. Toast the buns on the griddle, split-side down. Spread each toasted bun bottom with about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture, then top with a few pickles, some lettuce, 1 or 2 slices tomato and another dollop of the mayonnaise mixture; set aside. (Keep the griddle hot.) Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, put the patties on the griddle and cook 3 minutes. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on the uncooked side of each patty, then flip and top each with 1 slice cheese; continue cooking about 2 more minutes for medium doneness. Top 4 of the patties with caramelized onions, then cover with the remaining patties, cheese-side up. Sandwich the double patties on the buns.

These ingenious Toasty, Cheesy Bacon & Egg Cups take minutes to make and are sure to be a big hit with your entire family.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

8 slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread

6 slices bacon

6 large eggs

½ c shredded sharp cheddar or Gruyere

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preheat oven 375 F. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups (if baking in 12-c pan, leave empty space in between). With rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and, with a 4¼” cookie cutter, cut 8 rounds. Cut each round in half and press 2 halves into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge. Use extra bread to patch gaps. Brush bread with remaining butter. In large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until almost crisp, 4 minutes, flipping once (it will continue to cook in oven.) Lay 1 bacon slice in each bread cup, sprinkle with 1 tbsp. of grated cheese and crack egg over each. Sprinkle tops lightly with any remaining cheese shreds. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, 20-25 minutes. Run small knife around cups to loosen. Serve immediately.

French Toast Roll-ups are the things my breakfast dreams are made of. Prep bread and egg mixture the night before for an easy, delicious weekday treat.

8 slices white sandwich bread

Softened cream cheese, diced strawberries (or other fruit of choice), jam, nut butter, or Nutella

2 large eggs

3 tbsp milk

1/3 c granulated sugar

1 heaping tsp. ground cinnamon

Butter, for pan

Cut crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin. Place 1-2 tsp of chosen filling 1” from 1 end of bread in a strip. Roll bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I really like cream cheese with diced strawberries as one combination and Nutella with diced strawberries as another combination.

In shallow bowl whisk eggs and milk until well combined. In separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon. Set skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter.

Dip each bread roll in egg mixture coating well and then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning to brown all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add more butter to pan as needed.

Add cooked rolls immediately from pan to cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered. You can serve with syrup for dipping but I think they're good all by themselves.

This simple, fast, and delicious appetizer kick-starter is perfect for your New Years Eve celebration.

To make these ingenious Bacon Cups all you need are bacon, some mini-muffin tins and something to put inside. Think mac n cheese, guacamole, egg salad, caesar salad, caprese and anything else you can dream up.

Bacon Cups Nonstick pan spray 2 pounds thin-cut bacon for serving Preheat the oven to 350 F. Turn a mini muffin pan upside-down and lightly coat the bottom with nonstick pan spray. Crisscross 3 slices of bacon over each upturned cup, and then place another mini muffin pan on top so that the bacon slices are compressed between the two pans. Place the pans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the bacon cups are crisp and browned, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set aside to cool completely. Lift off the top pan. Carefully remove the bacon cups from the bottom pan and place them on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, wrong side up.

Dip apple rings in pancake batter for this sweet and simple twist on the average flapjack.

Apple Ring Pancakes

2 medium apples, pared and cored (sweet, firm apples like honey crisp and Fuji work well)

1 c flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg, beaten

½ c buttermilk or sour milk (see note) plus more to adjust for consistency

Vermont maple syrup

Wash, core and slice apples into ¼” thick rings. Whisk together flour, baking power, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Beat in eggs, vanilla and buttermilk (or sour milk), mixing until just mixed (do not overmix). Heat large skillet over medium-low heat and grease lightly. Dip apple rings into batter and allow excess batter to drip off. If the batter is too thick, add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until it is thick enough to stick to the apple ring, but thin enough to have excess drip off. You might want to cook a test apple ring to make sure the batter is to your liking before adding too much milk. Cook apple rings on skillet til golden brown, turning once. Skillet temperature is important here because if the skillet is too hot, the outside dough will burn before the apple inside starts to soften. Once again, you'll probably want to try a test apple ring and adjust the skillet temperature before cooking a bunch of rings at once. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Note: To make sour milk, add 1½ tsp vinegar to ½ c regular milk

Pizza cake. Need I say more?

2 cans refrigerated pizza crust

1½ c jarred marinara sauce

3 c shredded mozzarella cheese

1 c sliced pepperoni or favorite pizza toppings

1 tbsp butter

Preheat oven 400°F. Lightly drizzle large cookie sheet with olive oil. Find a tall-sided ovenproof pan. (6” in diameter, 4” high is ideal). Unroll 1 can of dough onto work surface; press into thin layer. Cut out three 6” rounds; place on cookie sheet. Bake 8 min. Place on cooling rack; cool. Unroll remaining can of dough; cut two 6” rounds from long edge of dough, leaving opposite side untouched. Place rounds on cooled cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.

Line pan with parchment paper so ends of paper stick up and out of pan. Cut long strip of dough at least ½” wider than height of pan. Carefully drape long strip of dough around inside edge of pan to line, leaving 1/2 inch hanging over outside edge of pan and bottom of pan open. Pinch seam to seal.

Carefully place 1 partially baked crust round in bottom of pan. Spread pizza sauce over crust; top with pepperoni slices and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese (when cheese melts, crust above will stick to it). Repeat to make 3 more layers. For top layer, place last crust over cheese; sprinkle with remaining cheese and arrange remaining pepperoni on top. Fold overhanging dough over top layer of pizza cake to make a raised crust edge. Bake 20- 25 minutes or until dough around pizza cake is fully cooked. (To test, carefully pull up parchment paper to raise pizza cake out of pan.) Once completely baked, cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove pizza cake from pan; brush crust with butter. Use sharp knife to cut slices like you would a cake.
