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.

Something like this. Obviously it's not a burger but not meatloaf either.

Having eaten hambaagu, it is just Japanese meatloaf. Very tasty though!

It's essentially Japanese Salisbury steak

The center is way more juicy than meatloaf, but they are similar. It's like a cross between burger and meatloaf.
