Paula Deens Burgoo Recipes

PAULA DEEN'S BURGOO

Steps:

• Lightly season the chicken, beef, and lamb all over with salt and black pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over med-high heat until shimmering.
• Working in batches, brown the meats on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch.
• Drain the meats on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Add the onions, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the pan.
• Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and garlic; cook for 2 minutes.
• Return the beef and lamb to the pan (cover the chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use).
• Stir in the broth or water, the crushed tomatoes and 1 tablespoon salt.
• Bring the mixture to a boil; decrease heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
• Return the chicken to the pan; cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and simmer until all the meats are very tender and shred easily with a fork, 45 minutes longer.
• Remove the chicken from the pan; once the chicken is cool enough to handle, pick the meat off the bones, discarding the bones and skin; shred the chicken and return to the pan.
• Stir in the corn, lima beans, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
• Simmer until the vegetables are hot and the stew reaches the thickness you like, 10-15 minutes.

PAULA DEEN'S BO BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper.
• Add 1/2 c cold water and mix by hand until meat has absorbed all the water (the water keeps the burgers moist and juicy).
• Shape into 4 patties.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add the burgers and cook to desired temperature, about 8-10 minutes per side for medium-well.
• Remove the burgers from the pan and set aside.
• Add the onion slices to the same skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, being careful to keep them in whole slices; it should take about 3 minutes per side.
• Remove from pan and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into the same skillet and cook until the yolk is not runny. Carefully remove from pan.
• Lay the bottom of the 4 hamburger buns on a flat surface.
• Top each bun with a burger.
• Top the burgers with 1 egg, onion slice, 1 slice of cheese and then the top bun.
• Lightly press the sandwich together with your hand.
• Place the sandwiches into the pan and cook for 1 minute on each side to griddle the buns.
• Serve and enjoy!
