So literally, there is no other way to get an in n out burger with other ingredients on it? Only real options are lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese?
Not quite. The "Not-So-Secret Menu" on In-N-Out's own site is a bit limited. The Hack The Menu link posted further down the thread does a better job of showing things, but my favorite is this one:
https://daviswiki.org/in-n-out_secret_menu
That said, it's not inaccurate to say that the secret menu doesn't add [m]any more ingredients; it just allows you to use the same ingredients in a different way to create some different flavor combinations. Sorry, no beetroot.
But as much as I love In-N-Out, there's some truth to
TWA884's statement that it's simply "very good basic burgers out of fresh ingredients"--but that's very much part of the appeal of the product. They may be stuck in the '50s, but that's actually not altogether a bad thing.
Other than the American cheese, I don't think there's many artificial/processed ingredients in the In-N-Out kitchen.

My standard is a double meat (no cheese), with everything + double pickles, and extra spread. I rarely ever order fries there because I just don't like skinny fries, but if I do, I order well done.
To each his/her own taste, but I love onions and hate pickles, so I'd despise your burger.
Up to the OP to decide what he likes, but FWIW, here's my standard order at In-N-Out:
Double Meat (no cheese)
Medium-rare
Extra toasted bun
Animal-style
No pickle
Extra whole grilled onion (plus the chopped grilled onions that come with animal style, but no raw onion)
No salt
Like
braslvr, I'm actually not a fan of thin-cut fries and find theirs a bit uninspired (that's what you get when you slice a potato and toss it in a fryer and add nothing else, I guess), but if I do, I get them extra-well done and with no salt, and then I squeeze a bit of lemon from the lemon wedges at the drink station over them. The lemon actually makes a big difference.
