Nothing lady-like about it









I'm not one of those people who watch cooking shows while working out
at the Y (or Genesis, today, see post below.) Today, however, when I was
preparing to work out, the Food Network was on the TV at my station and
I couldn't help but watch a few minutes of a Paula Deen cooking show.

Anyone who is familiar with Paula Deen's recipes knows she never spares
the butter, cream, cheese, etc. But the recipe she was featuring on this day
is about as gross and irresponsible as I can imagine. She called it a Ladies
Brunch Burger,and it essentially consisted of a burger, topped with bacon
and fried egg, all sandwiched between your choice of English muffin or
glazed doughnut -- or, if you prefer, BOTH the muffin and the doughnut.
Seriously, here's the recipe. Shame on you, Paula!


LADIES BRUNCH BURGER
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
3 English muffins
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 English muffins or buns, and if desired, on glazed

donuts, as the buns. Top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and a fried egg.

Now you see why I had to break up with Paula.

Gotta tell ya...Jeff's favorite burger is the Royal Red Burger (it has egg on it).
