My parents are HUGE fans of Food Network Star Paula Deen. They get a kick out of her down home attitude and recipes. However, since my parents aren’t exactly what you’d call “young” I keep telling them to watch and enjoy but DON’T EAT THE FOOD. Why? Here’s one of Paula’s recipes that comes with a free E.K.G.
1 1/2 pounds ground beef 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves 2 tablespoons grated onion House Seasoning, recipe follows 2 tablespoons butter 3 eggs 6 slices bacon cooked, 6 glazed donuts
Mix the ground beef, chopped parsley and grated onion together in a large mixing bowl. Season liberally, with House Seasoning. Form 3 hamburger patties.Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the burgers and cook until desired temperature, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Fry bacon in a hot pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
While burgers are cooking, heat a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Crack 3 eggs into the pan. Cook until the yolks are just set and still slightly runny and remove.
Place burger patties on glazed donuts as the buns. Top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and a fried egg.
A hamburger with a fried egg, bacon and a freakin’ Krispy Kreme as the bun!! Seriously?!?! I’m getting chest pains just typing it! I’m not saying you should eat all healthy, all the time (wheatgerm, rice, wicker furniture, etc.) but you don’t have to eat like a goat! Stop the madness, Paula!!
WHAT!?! This recipe doesn’t include a stick of butter? That’s her signature!
I once watched an episode in which she cooked another fattening dish. When she finished it, she wanted to taste it but couldn’t find a serving spoon. And as “God As My Witness” she stuck her whole hand into the casserole and started to eat out of the dish with her hands because she didn’t want to take the time to find a spoon. I’m not talking about picking and nibbling, she was taking in huge handfuls of this casserole!
Triple bypass on a plate. She does have good down home cooking, but as we all know that way of eating is a accident waiting to happen.
As a runner, I couldn’t imagine eating that. It would completely ruin your body and the sugar content is an ungodly amount. I tallied up the total of calories in this so called breakfast…yeah 1,435 calories. I couldn’t even imagine going throughout the day and realized I have to burn that many off.
Bad idea. Don’t eat it.
Go the healthy route. It will pay off in the end.
OMG!!!!!! That looks gross!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Paula but that looks very greasey (cringe). All I gotta say is where is the wheat bun and veggies?
lol
You know just becasue she posts these recipes doesn’t mean she makes them all up. Some of her stuff is really over the top, but it is because that is what is expected of her. She is an ‘entertainer’ as well as a cook now you know.
So… LAY OFF PAULA!
ewwwwwww !
Your blog seems to be anti-Paula. First it’s Paula Abdul and now Paula Dean… who’s next Poundstone?
Good point, Allen. My cousin, Paula, is next!
Hey Ya’ll I was just talking about how Miss Paula takes a simple recipe and then turns it into either major chocolate splash or a coronary on a plate. I just have so much fun watching her go hog wild with the ingredients. By-the-way have you seen how (large her husband is and how large she is becoming.
Thanks,
Vicki
There is nothing wrong with Paula’s food, just remember moderation in all things.
my family had a favorite tavern in portland, oregon, that claimed to have the World’s Greatest Hamburger. according to the food reviewer it is, “piled with cheese, ham, bacon, fried egg, tomato, lettuce, pickles, onions and special sauce–mustard, mayo and relish.” It was awesome.
