    I'm in love with The Shiksa's Ima Burgers! They are so delicious and easy to make. My kids loved them.
    Okay so I've been a slacker the last day or so. I know, I know. But with all the fun attention from getting on foodbuzz (did I tell you all how much I love you for that!) top 9 for the first time I was just kind of basking in it for a day.
    Not that I wasn't cooking. I was just stressing over how to follow up that brownie recipe. I must thank everyone who voted for it, you guys rock.
    It was my first time on the list and I was so thrilled I pretty much woke up the whole family with my hooting and hollering. So, thank you to those who voted for it.I am grateful to you.
    Also huge thanks to foodbuzz for picking it. I was stunned and incredibly happy. So yesterday was a happy day.
    I would love to tell you I celebrated by going out to dinner or taking a day off housework. But alas I cooked and did a zillion loads of laundry.
    Tackling that never-ending pile is a full time job. So how do I follow up the best brownies in the world. Well I taunt you with this:

    The Shiksa's Ima Burgers

    The Shiksa's Ima Burgers are so tasty and easy to make. Fire up your grill and make these delicious burgers today!
    Course Dinner
    Cuisine Middle Eastern
    Keyword burger recipe, ima burgers, middle eastern burgers
    Prep Time 15 minutes
    Cook Time 20 minutes
    Total Time 35 minutes
    Servings 8
    Calories 592kcal

    Ingredients

    For the burgers:

    • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
    • 2 slices whole wheat bread crusts removed
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 tablespoons dried parsley
    • ¼ cup onion minced
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1 pinch salt
    • 1 pinch ground pepper

    Optional:

    • Veggie oil for frying

    For the Sriracha Mayo:

    • 1 cup good quality mayo
    • 4 teaspoons  sriracha sauce (less if you don't want it too spicy)

    For the toppings:

    • lettuce if desired
    • cheese if desired
    • ketchup if desired
    • mustard if desired
    • chopped onions if desired
    • 1 package burger buns
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    For the burgers:

    • Place ground beef in a mixing bowl.
    • Cut off crust of bread. Put in a flat bottomed bowl and pour olive oil over top. Let it soak in then flip over and let other side soak as well.
    • Shred the bread, I tossed mine in the food processor, and add it to the meat along with all your spices and eggs.
    • Mix this all together by hand, or with a fork, or on low speed in a stand mixer.
    • Preheat your grill.
    • Place on grill and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. Brushing them with olive oil is a huge Shiksa tip and I am glad I did it. Also don't keep flipping them over and over. Just let them cook all the way on one side then flip. Over flipping burgers leads to broken burgers.
    • Note- you can also cook these in a pan with veggie oil.

    For the Sriracha Mayo:

    • Mix the mayo and sriracha together until well blended. You can add more or less depending how spicy you like it. Spoon over your Ima Burgers.

    Putting it together:

    • Place burger on bottom bun, add sauce and any other condiments you like. Add top bun. DIg in!

      Very cool post. I may have to try that. I love the idea of sriracha mayo. I got your link from Christina of Form V's blog and saw that you live in Essex. I was down there just last week. My folks live in Belle River and we drove all around and even went to Leamington and to Colasantis (great fun for the kids). We also went to a Mexican restaurant there that I posted about on my blog. check it out! Nice to visit your blog.

      @Dzoli- Sounds exactly like what I did the day I made all this. Rofl.

      @Steve- Okay so I checked out your blog and I swear I know you. Left you a note. Colasanti's has hands down the best donuts in the entire universe. Love that place. The pic of me holding the cutie baby in the petting zoo on my other blog was taken at Colasanti's. Stop by again. I am dying to know if you grew up here.

      @Dee- I-do-not-talk-fast-at-all! Pft, hell yah I do. I go a hundred miles an hour some days and there is usually uncontrollable giggling involved. I can't help it. I should be bummed and sullen with our lived blowing chunks right now but I just don't have that gene. This recipe rocks. The Shiksa is a genius.

      @Ann-Yeppers, I found out when I was a kid. I was at a sleepover and we did this stupid blindfolded taste test thing. They gave me mayo and I got violently, go home kind of sick. My bro in law put it in burgers a couple of years ago and forgot and I got sick with 50 people there. Fun times. I don't know what it is but am going to ask the allergist in January when I go. They think I have a mast cell disorder and with Canadian health care it is a long wait to see a specialist so I get to see him in 6 months. Lol. I am not sure if it's eggs or what. I don't eat them other than cooking with them. So it's hard to say. But I am having itching and flushing a ton so think it could actually be eggs in general. No clue.

      Kim, you so totally rock!! How awesome is this? I'm so happy you liked the burgers, they're one of our favorite treats here on the homestead. And don't you love how easy they are to throw together? I keep some burger in the freezer for nights when I need a quick dinner, or for when my husband asks for his beloved Ima Burgers. Thanks for the awesome write up! (And the plugs for Stumble Upon, haha... still figuring out how to use that site!) 😉 Going to check out that chocolate bark now, mmm... xoxo

      P.S. That is really depressing that you can't eat mayo. 🙁

      @Tori- Thanks my dear. You blew me away by mentioning me this week. Did not see that coming. I am ever grateful and humbled. And you know I don't humble easily,lol. They were easy and surprisingly quick. I love sriracha and I cracked up as they finally got it in town. I must have scared them when I complained. Stumble confounds me but I am trying. Next battle is signing up the cravings name for FB. I don't want it attached to my personal one so need to figure it out and get it set up. I'm addicted to that stupid pinterest, badly. Like need a step program for it. And yes it is depressing, although I am not a big egg person so not too bothered. The burgers were good with just straight up sriracha. That stuff rocks.

      @Jeff- The Sriracha Mayo is all Tori, I just stole it from here. With her permission of course. Lol.

      @Sara- Thank you. It is SO good.
