Can I make these without burgers?

Yes! You can leave the meat out entirely or substitute the beef patties for chicken, turkey, or even your favorite veggie patty.

Do I have to use American cheese?

Any kind of melted cheese would work, but American cheese is the classic cheese used on typical In-N-Out animal style fries. So if you don’t use American cheese, these won’t taste quite the same as the fast food version. However, shredded mild cheddar could also work.
