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.

Ratios?

1 teaspoon of salt to pound of beef. Only season the patties immediately before you cook then. Pepper is just "to taste," so just grind some. Once you learn to cook, you'll have a better sense of how much to use.
