On Friday, Paula Deen was put on the chopping block at the Food Network and fired after admitting she used the N-word.

Instead of talking — which has caused quite the controversy for the Southern TV chef — Deen should have just stuffed her mouth shut with one of her calorie-filled dishes. 

Chocolate pizza, butter cake ice cream, and Krispy Kreme pudding. Welcome to Paula Deen’s recipes, where Candyland gumdrop dreams come to fruition.

Food Network

If you’ve ever skimmed through the 121 recipe pages on Paula Deen’s website, you’ll come across some ridiculous concoctions.

We’ve skimmed through the more than 3,000 food offerings and picked out 10 of her unhealthiest recipes. 

Get 'em while they're hot.

10. Tastes Like Lasagna Soup

Now, you can take your lasagna on the go. In case, you know, you ever wanted to drink meat and cheese out of a thermos.


9. Peanut Butter Cup Brownie S'mores

Have you ever wanted to ingest a cup of butter? 

When the recipe begins with, “1 cup butter, softened, plus more for baking dish,” we can already feel our arteries clogging. 

8. Cheese on the Cob

Deen tells us this is what summer tastes like:

“Spread a thick layer of mayonnaise on corn, and dust with cheese, chili powder, salt, and pepper.”  

No, Deen. This is what a heart attack feels like.

7. Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Food Network

What do you get when you combine butter, sugar, and sour cream? Paula Deen's special Ooey Gooey Butter Cake.

6. Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Can’t decide between a hamburger or meatloaf? Don’t settle when you can have it all. 

5. Double Chocolate Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream

Imagine butter on a stick. Now cover that stick with chocolate.  That’s not exactly how the recipe works, but that’s the image that comes to mind. 

4. Bill Nicholson's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

The recipe calls for two dozen Kripsy Kreme doughnuts. 1 traditional cake donut from the retailer contains 340 calories. Two dozen donuts comes out to 8,160 calories. And, that’s the bare minimum. If you spice things up with a glazed Devil’s Food Cake Doughnut, you’re up to 12,000 calories. Stick to pudding.

3. Banana Split Brownie Pizza

We’ll take one large pizza, extra strawberries, chocolate crust – hold the pepperonis.  No it’s not an actual pizza, but it sure looks like one. Surely, this is something out of Hansel and Gretel’s Candy cottage. 

2. Surf & Turf "Fat Darrell" Sandwich

Rutgers University’s “RU Hungry?” grease trucks need to take a cue from Ms. Deen.

Filet mignon and lobster tails put the more affordable college “Fat Darrell”—consisting of chicken fingers, French fries, mozzarella sticks, and marinara sauce—featured on “Man Vs. Food” to shame.

1. The Lady's Brunch Burger

The bacon, cheese, hamburger and English muffin concoction is housed inside a glazed donut. You thought a McGriddle was bad.
