1 pound ground chuck
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8-ounce) package sharp Cheddar, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup bread crumbs, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 (3-ounce) can French fried onions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and next 8 ingredients, mixing well.

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remaining ketchup mixture.

Press meat mixture into a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan, or shape into a loaf and place on a rack in a broiler pan. Spread remaining ketchup mixture over loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions; bake another 10 to 15 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

2. What, no butter?

As I recall, I've seen her make hamburgers with chunks of butter in the middle of each patty.

5. I predict

the Paula Deen Low Fat Cookbook is in the future.

That's gonna be her next big project, losing all that weight she put on. So, of course she will write a book about it and have a new TV show.

Did you hear her on Diane Riehm this past week?

She's done a lot with her life. She had agoraphobia for a long time.

8. Two words: Pee Cans

Any southern woman who says pee-cans instead of puh-KAHNS is just Oh-Deed on butter.
