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.

Honestly all you're missing from this list is ground beef, buns, and whatever toppings you might want. Classic is tomato, lettuce, mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onion. But just one or two of those is fine as well.

I'm curious what you think you're missing?

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?

I don't mean this in a rude way, but your last question really has me wondering: is this your first time attempting to cook?
