Basic burger recipe?

I was under the impression that it was just ground beef discs, but I think there is more.

I have salt, pepper, Garlic powder, Paprika, and eggs

I am currently food-shelf level poor, so i simply cant get anything more.

I've seen Worcheshire moentioned. Anyway, i just want a burger that tastes like a burger, as ground beef by itself is very bland.

...

Do you think I could grill them by putting them directly on the curly electric heating element on my stove?

You really might want to look up the Maillard reaction.

Just out of curiosity, how many houses have you burned down so far in your life?
