Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 4: Bacon, Doughnut, Egg Burger

Paula's outrageous. I've done a few variations on her gooey butter cake. The trick is to exercise more than you injest. So, if you start exercising now, you can have an entire meal of hers by.....2013?

Pre-mixed spice blends -

I like Old Bay, and Emeril's Essence, Except I make my own per his recipe and use about 1/4 the salt.Growing your own lets you use less than called for in recipes, the fresh/dried has so much more flavor than the store bought.I also grow my own peppers, Anaheim, jalapeno, habanero, and bells, and then let them hang and dry. A burst or two in my grinder(Mr. Coffee, never ever seen a bean) and I can adjust my chili powder to whether or not I like my guests.(Sorry, Super Bowl people).

One of my favorite odd chicken wings are boneless stuffed.You actually have to de-bone the middle wing, and stuff it with a mixture of shrimp, celery, gr. onion, and more. Bake them and drizzle with hoisin sauce.
Definitely unique. If you want the recipe I'll have to dig it up, but I doubt many have tried them!

Are These the Ultimate Beef Burgers?

I like grinding my own, the KitchenAid does a great jobI also will add spices and fresh onion and garlic while grinding, incorporating it through the patty.
Now, do you consider it cheating to dust the patty with a little bit of bouillon powder?
If you ask the butcher nicely, (when it's slow) they'll sometimes throw you some fat for free.

One question...
Can you taste the Special fresh ground meat with All the Condiments?

I think not.

Also an English muffin works well with Juicy burgers, it is Bland but it is Tough and does not fall apart.

A fresh grind mix of chuck roll and brisket. I really don't see a need for PRIME for burger meat. Grind it, pat it into shape, lightly, and GRIDDLE it. Maybe, MAYBE I can be talked into a wood fired grill being used for a fresh ground burger, but a griddle is far, far superior, IMO.

Don't make them too fat. Season with s and p or a homemade seasoning salt you like and go for it. I think the most important aspects are:

1. Fresh ground
2. Minimum of 20 fat. 25% is just about perfect. Places that tout their
"lean" burgers drive me nuts.
3. Handle LIGHTLY. If you go to town with the patting down proccess, you
get a texture similar to meatloaf.
4. Real hot GRIDDLE.
5. Soft, FRESH, white bread or potato bread roll. It must be soft. It must
be toasted in butter. I don't understand the use of other types of bread.
Like ciabatta, english muffins, hard rolls. Use white, cheap, FRESH
toasted hamburger rolls.
6. While I stand firm on the above stuff, condiments are up to you. I like
ketchup, a touch of mustard, pickle slices, raw onion. However, I was
introduced to fryed onions, fried dark. And OMG, it was outstanding.

Yep, burgers, IMO, are one of the Worlds classic dishes.

P.S. Paula Deen stinks, the best chef in the world is Gordon Ramsey.

I have to say I LOVE burgers, all kinds of burgers. Cheese, chicken, turkey, pizza, anything! Burgers with onion rings, burgers with bacon, even burgers with mash potatoes like the new one at BK! But this is not a burger. A DONUT? A FRIED EGG? That is disgusting, especially the donut part. Theres some foods you dont mix and this is the best example of that.

I went to Conti's pastry shoppe in the Bronx to try their Boston Cream pie and it was absolutely delicious. It was light and so fresh! Everyone was fighting over the last few pieces! I recommend you try it for your next gathering!

That is one is the most disgusting things i've seen in a while. The mere fact this woman has a television show, and that people are actually salivating over this garbage, is living testament to the state of American health.

Cheers to your heart attack!

It's all so grotesque. I don't watch her show - she just seems oddly phony, something that can come from seeming, or being just "too" southern. Her accents seems awfully thick, as if she ever left her home town, ever. It's fine that she's got a southern accent but most of my friends from the south just don't layer it on that thickly.

The "meal" isn't a meal, and isn't exactly cooking. A year from now, I expect to see it in the freezer case when they "brand' her crap and sell it as a frozen breakfast "treat". Doughnut sandwiches. Dear gods.

"With this she served baked garlic cheese grits, yogurt parfait, and chocolate chip pancakes with cinnamon (whipped) cream."
indygal, please tell me you're joking. I can't take too much more disappointment (after finding out that Ben and Jerry really aren't selling "Yes, Pecan!"

Shouldn't it get dipped again in an egg wash and in panko, and then deep fried. Afterwards, drizzle with molten cheddar when plating..

That sounds like a Paula Deen recipe!
