Paula Deen's Nutrition - DIFFICULT

I cannot fathom WANTING to eat this. I’m with her until she gets to the buns. And what "Lady" would eat this?

The Lady's Brunch Burger

Mix ground beef, chopped parsley and grated onion together in a large mixing bowl. Season liberally, with House Seasoning. Form 3 hamburger patties of 1/2 pound each.

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.

HEART ATTACK SEVERITY: CRITICAL, 100% MORBIDITY

Paula, you know I love you, but I’m worried about your health. I watched you melt and pour an entire stick of butter on the top of your easy potpie (I’ve made the same one for years without the butter and it’s just FINE). But do you not realize or not CARE that each KK has 200 calories and 12 grams of fat. So using two gives us 24 grams of fat just for the “buns”, then add in the hamburger patty, bacon & fried egg (you are frying the eggs in only 2 tablespoons butter. I’m proud of you for cutting back on this one). I don’t think I can count that high for fat grams, honey! Unless you are a homicidal serial killer in disguise, you’ve got to stop killing your loyal viewers.

Actually, I have to reclassify myself. I can’t say I’m a loyal viewer as defined by wanting to cook what you cook. Rather I am like a bystander at a car crash or fire. I’m just here to watch the destruction and thank God it’s not me.
