Paula Deen Heart Attack Burger Recipe
Paula Deen’s Heart Attack Burger is made with two burger patties, bacon, cheese, and an egg. If you want to indulge in a Paula Deen-style burger, then this recipe is just for you.
Start by placing one doughnut and top it with one burger patty, egg, and strips of bacon. Top the entire thing with another doughnut, sit back, and go for it.
Make sure the beef is 80/20 ground chuck. You want your burger to be juicy and flavorful, but you also don’t want it to be too greasy. Load up the burgers with all your favorite toppings. Just like Julia Child, we added bacon, cheese, avocado, tomato, and onions.
This post will show you how to make Paula Deen’s Heart Attack Burger from scratch. But fair warning – it’s not for the faint of heart! Scroll down to learn more about the recipe, equipment, and ingredients.
Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Make sure you mix meat gently while making patties to keep the burgers tender.
- Season the patties just before cooking. It helps create a flavourful crust on the patty.
- A lightly toasted donut perfectly caramelizes the cut sides, which prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Try frying eggs properly, as a perfectly cooked yolk makes it easy to eat.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Make sure the seasoning added is sugar-free. Swap regular buns with keto buns; instead of glazed donuts and English muffins, use keto muffins and donuts.
- Gluten Free: You can use gluten-free buns instead of regular buns. Make sure the seasonings you add are gluten-free.
