- Hey friends, look who I got with me.
0:03
I got my sidekick. - Yay.
0:05
- I got Joseph with me.
0:07
And y'all, Joseph,
0:09
people have really loved seeing you here
0:11
in the kitchen with me. - Aw, I think they love
0:13
us together.
0:14
- Well, whatever.
0:16
- Yes. (chuckling) - Whatever.
0:17
- Yes, ma'am.
0:18
- They love you, so. - Aw.
0:20
It's an honor to be here
0:21
for sure. - Oh, thank you.
0:22
Well, I'll take you on any day as the number one stand in
0:27
or backup, (Joseph laughing)
0:29
or whatever you call it.
0:30
- Sounds good to me. (Paula laughing)
0:31
(Joseph laughing)
0:32
- So what have you been doing?
0:33
I haven't seen you in a while.
0:34
- Yeah, well, since the last time I was here,
0:38
I've been traveling a lot,
0:40
and one of the NGOs that we support
0:42
is called Iris Global. - Oh, what is the NGO?
0:44
- It's a non-government something.
0:47
I forgot what the O stands for.
0:49
- Operation? - Operation, maybe,
0:51
that's what it is.
0:52
But yeah, I've been doing some traveling-
0:55
- Good for you. - And going to see them
0:57
in Mozambique, Africa,
0:59
as well South Africa. - So, you cook?
1:01
Are the children- - I do.
1:02
All the kids, all the missionaries that are there-
1:04
- Oh, that's wonderful. - just love on the people
1:07
- And were these children food deprived
1:10
in any way? - Oh, my goodness, yes.
1:11
- Yeah? - Yes.
1:13
We went to a lot of the internally displaced camps.
1:18
They're fleeing a lot of war that's going on in Mozambique.
1:21
So being able to sit with the children and the mamas
1:24
and love on them- - Well-
1:25
- cook for them,
1:26
it's been great. - I know they said, oh my God,
1:29
you were a gift from God,
1:30
you were. - Oh my,
1:31
they were a gift to me.
1:32
- Well, it works both ways.
1:34
- It does. It does.
1:35
It really, really does. - Works both ways.
1:37
Yes, ma'am.
1:38
- Well, I'm glad to hear
1:39
that you've been doing your good deeds.
1:44
I've been trying.
1:45
- Yeah, I think you're doing a good job.
1:47
This woman is amazing.
1:48
- No, I've been trying. - She is.
1:50
- We've been doing
1:56
raising benefits
1:57
for my foundation- - Yes, absolutely.
1:59
- the Paula Deen Bag Lady Foundation,
2:00
so we could help other women
2:02
and their children. - That's great.
2:03
- All right, so, we're in luck,
2:07
because guess what?
2:09
The man is cooking for the man in your life,
2:14
for Father's Day. - That's right.
2:15
Yeah, absolutely.
2:17
Happy Father's Day to every guy that's watching.
2:20
- Yes, yes, yes. - Yeah.
2:21
- I can't tell you
2:22
how important you fathers are in children's lives.
2:26
- That's right.
2:27
- I cannot tell you.
2:30
So y'all don't forget just how important you are.
2:33
- That's right. - All right,
2:34
so what are you gonna do?
2:35
Is there anything you want me to do?
2:37
- Yeah, so basically,
2:38
what we're going to make- - What are we going to do?
2:39
- is, I think, all guys love burgers for the most part.
2:42
And so we're going to do a barbecue beef burger
2:45
with a little secret ingredient.
2:47
There really is not much to it.
2:49
We have two pounds of ground beef.
2:51
80-20 is the kind of ratio that I like to use.
2:54
You can do a little bit lesser,
2:57
but I think for burger, it's good to have.
2:59
- 70-30, or 80, too.
3:00
- Yeah, that's so good. (Paula laughing)
3:01
Yes, that's when you really wanna show off.
3:04
- Yeah, yeah. When you wanna lick your elbow.
3:06
- Yeah, that's right. (laughing)
3:08
And so we have that.
3:10
And then there's really only three ingredients
3:12
in the actual burger.
3:13
- Okay, good. - We're going to do-
3:14
- The fewer the ingredients, the better.
3:16
- The better, yes. This is a beefy onion soup mix.
3:21
And so it contains all your seasonings,
3:23
your salt, onions,
3:24
garlic powder- - Yeah, right.
3:26
- all of that wonderfulness. - Right, right, right.
3:28
- And then I'm also going to get from the refrigerator here,
3:35
our secret ingredient, which is Guinness.
3:40
- There's no fathers out there that probably turn down
3:43
a little Guinness. (Joseph chuckling)
3:45
- Probably not, no.
3:46
But a friend of mine actually made some burgers for me
3:50
many years ago, and this was her secret ingredient.
3:53
And so when I was developing this recipe,
3:55
I thought, "This might be good to put in here."
3:57
- [Paula] Yeah.
3:59
- And so we only need about a half a cup.
4:00
So, let me make sure I'm-
4:02
- [Paula] That's a like a quarter of a cup, I'd say.
4:04
- There we go. Yep, you're right.
4:07
And then this is I think half.
4:09
- [Paula] Yeah.
4:10
- Because you definitely don't wanna overdo it
4:11
unless you want it to taste like beer.
4:14
- Yeah, yeah, and don't want it-
4:16
- Exactly. No. - a wet meal.
4:18
- Yeah, so this
4:19
is just to enhance. - Well, I cook with beer
4:20
with my seafood a lot.
4:22
Like (indistinct). - For sure.
4:24
- Or
4:27
Cajun Barbecued Shrimp- - Mm-hmm.
4:29
- I use beer.
4:30
- That's a good idea. - Yeah.
4:31
- I love that.
4:33
Yeah, and so the beer just enhances the flavor.
4:36
I think it helps kind of spread evenly
4:38
the beefy onion soup mix. - Yeah, uh-huh.
4:40
- And so it's just
4:41
all these are great flavor- - You want me to put 'em-
4:43
- enhancers.
4:44
- fry in the pan? - Yes, ma'am, you can.
4:45
- All right, how many burgers
4:46
are you gonna get out of there?
4:47
- That is a good question.
4:49
Um, how big would you like me to make them?
4:53
This is for our lunch right now,
4:54
'cause we're both starving.
4:56
- Probably four.
4:57
- Four, that's what I'm thinking too.
4:59
Yep, and the biggest- - You think four
5:01
will fit in there?
5:01
Or I got a bigger pan.
5:03
- Maybe, I don't think four will fit in there, but-
5:06
- It'd be tight.
5:07
- Yeah, it would be rather tight.
5:09
So the biggest thing with this too, as well,
5:12
is you just wanna mix it ever so gently.
5:15
You don't wanna overmix this
5:16
because it will toughen the meat,
5:18
and you don't want that. (pots clattering)
5:20
And so, yeah,
5:22
just mix it all together. - All right, I'm gonna-
5:24
- And then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
5:26
And we're gonna heat up the pan.
5:29
And yeah, then it's pretty much done.
5:34
We're gonna cook it.
5:34
How do you like your burger, what temperature?
5:36
- I like mine kind of medium.
5:38
- Awesome. And so now our pan is heated up.
5:41
- [Paula] Is it too hot?
5:42
- [Joseph] No, I don't think so.
5:44
Where's the, this way?
5:47
- [Paula] These are my-
5:48
- [Joseph] Medium?
5:51
- That's fine. - Yeah, it's in medium.
5:53
- Perfect.
5:54
I always add just a little bit of oil
5:55
because I don't want the burgers stick.
5:57
- [Paula] Yeah.
5:58
- And so we're just coating a little olive oil
6:00
in the bottom of the pan.
6:02
And we're gonna start-
6:03
- These are my brand new sets
6:05
of pots and pans. - Oh, you're kidding me.
6:06
They're beautiful! - I'm so proud of 'em!
6:09
- They are beautiful. - That should not stick.
6:11
- No, I don't think so.
6:13
All of your pots and pans,
6:15
your products are like some of my favorites.
6:18
- [Paula] Thank you.
6:18
- They are so good. - And there's no materials
6:21
in this that could hurt you.
6:23
- [Joseph] Oh yeah, yeah. All the toxins and stuff.
6:27
- Yeah, yeah. - It doesn't have any of that.
6:29
- [Paula] No.
6:30
- [Joseph] These are the thinner burgers.
6:31
So you can make these as thin as you want.
6:34
Ms. Paula likes her as a little bit more done.
6:37
And so I did hers custom to her, a little bit thinner.
6:42
- [Paula] How do you make yours?
6:43
- [Joseph] I like my medium,
6:44
and I do like a kind of thick, thick burger.
6:47
- Perfect. - You know, so.
6:49
- One thing about it, when you pat them at yourself,
6:51
you can make it
6:52
any way you want. - You can make it
6:53
any way you want to.
6:54
My grandmother, bless her heart,
6:56
she would make burgers as big as this plate.
6:59
I don't know what she would put them in. (laughing)
7:02
I think she'd make the biggest burgers.
7:04
And we were little.
7:05
- [Paula] How did she find buns to fit it?
7:07
- She would just use bread.
7:09
- Oh, I get it. (Joseph laughing)
7:11
I get it. I get it. - She would.
7:13
She was very frugal when it came to stuff like that.
7:18
But it worked. Oh my gosh, she made the best burgers.
7:21
It was so delicious. - Mm.
7:23
- So now we're just gonna let this cook
7:24
maybe about three to four minutes per side.
7:27
Then we'll flip it once it gets a nice, good crust on it.
7:30
And you cook it to the temperature that you like.
7:32
So like I said, I like my medium.
7:34
If you like yours a little bit more well done,
7:36
probably I would say anywhere between four to five minutes,
7:39
six minutes at at the longest per side.
7:42
And so we'll be right back.
7:43
(meat sizzling)
7:45
- [Paula] So while you're doing that, Joseph,
7:47
I'm gonna start prepping-
7:48
- For our next recipe.
7:50
- for your next video-
7:52
- I love it. - that you gonna do.
7:53
- [Joseph] Yes, ma'am. Right.
7:54
- [Paula] And it's gonna go perfect
7:55
with those hamburgers. - It is, it is.
7:57
This is a perfect Father's Day menu.
7:59
And so right now we're just letting the burgers
8:01
finish up cooking.
8:02
Remember you cook it to whatever temperature that you like.
8:05
And then what I do is I also put
8:07
a little bit of barbecue sauce just on top of the burger
8:11
to kind of let it mesh in with the flavor of the burger.
8:16
And I think goes really good with that Guinness,
8:20
as well as with that beefy onion soup mix.
8:23
And so you just knead this a little bit,
8:25
put that on there.
8:26
You can flip it to give it kind of a nice texture
8:29
and a little bit of char.
8:30
And I'm also heating up my buns
8:32
just so they can get a little bit brown, looking perfect.
8:35
- ]Paula] Yeah, I don't want no cold bun.
8:37
- No ma'am.
8:38
(both laughing)
8:39
And so we'll be right back,
8:40
and we'll assemble this all together.
8:43
- Love that kind of lettuce. - Isn't it delicious?
8:45
- Love butter lettuce. - Oh my god.
8:46
- If y'all have never bought butter lettuce,
8:50
do yourself a favor.
8:51
- Absolutely. Especially on a sandwich like this.
8:54
- Yeah. - Yeah.
8:55
So our burgers are done.
8:56
We've just topped them with some cheese.
8:59
You can use whatever type of cheese that you want.
9:01
A good English cheddar would go really good with this.
9:04
But this is, some pepper jack. - I'm gonna put-
9:07
- You wanna put
9:08
yours together? - I'm gonna put-
9:09
Oh yeah, honey.
9:09
- I was gonna do it for you.
9:11
- Oh no, I get my own.
9:12
- (chuckling) Yes ma'am.
9:13
(Joseph laughing)
9:14
- I hadn't eaten today, Joseph.
9:15
- Yeah, I'm starving myself.
9:17
- And I say each man for himself.
9:20
- Yeah. (laughing)
9:22
- Good, that was a perfect burger.
9:24
I wanted the tiny one. - Perfect.
9:26
- Yes, ma'am. And I'm gonna go ahead and do mine.
9:30
This is so good. I think dads would love this.
9:32
I mean, really,- - Oh sure.
9:33
- anybody would love this.
9:34
- Yes, yes, yes.
9:36
- And it doesn't take long to cook, you know,
9:39
the longest thing that takes is just the burgers.
9:42
You know, maybe five to seven minutes,
9:44
and you're good to go.
9:45
- I'm gonna want more lettuce than that.
9:48
(Joseph laughing)
9:49
Yum.
9:50
- Yes. Go ahead and eat with without me.
9:52
- Bon appetite.
9:52
- Bon appetite.
9:53
(both laughing)
9:55
We're starving.
9:55
- I would never be so rude
9:57
as to eat without you. - No, please. You are fine.
10:00
You are absolutely fine. (laughing)
10:03
Hopefully, it tastes good. It turned out perfect.
10:07
I love the way-
10:08
- I love the barbecue sauce.
10:09
- Mmm. It just adds a little bit of sweetness.
10:13
I like a little extra bacon, so-
10:15
- I forgot the bacon.
10:16
- That's okay. You can always add it.
10:19
Or if you wanted a second one, there's the one there.
10:24
- I do do, do do love the barbecue sauce.
10:27
- And I love the onions. Now this is a man's burger.
10:32
- Okay.
10:33
(Joseph laughing)
10:35
- Let me see you wrap your mouth
10:36
around that. - Let's see.
10:37
- I've seen you do some tricks.
10:38
You'd smash a little bit.
10:40
- Mm-hmm.
10:41
There you go. - Mmmm.
10:43
- You know how do it. - Mmmm.
10:47
(both laughing)
10:50
- Ain't nothing lik and elbow liquor y'all.
10:52
- Mm, it's so good.
10:55
Mm. - Mm, mm, mm.
10:57
- It's really good with the bacon.
10:59
- Mm. Okay.
11:01
- You have to try it.
11:02
- Mm-hmm, there's no whole.
11:05
- Mm.
11:06
(mouth munching)
11:07
Excellent.
11:10
(Joseph chuckling)
11:11
- So the dried French onion soup mix.
11:14
- Guinness.
11:15
- The Guinness beer. - Mm-hmm.
11:18
- And barbecue sauce.
11:21
- Yep, pretty much it.
11:24
Whatever toppings you wanna add.
11:25
- Ingredients that you would have in your pantry-
11:27
- Absolutely. - more than likely.
11:28
- Yep.
11:29
- So give it a try, y'all.
11:31
- You should. You will love it.
11:32
- Oh, you know, the big guy knows what he's doing.
11:34
(Joseph laughing)
11:36
- Happy Father's Day.
11:37
- Yes, Happy Father's Day.
11:38
- And I've got you working on the next dish
11:41
to go along with it. - Yes, to go along with this.
