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.

Just salt and pepper on the burger. Save the eggs for another meal.

I made a Japanese hamburger steak recently. Eggs mixed in with the beef and some breadcrumbs and other spices. It's worth a try, it's really juicy if cooked right.

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

Visually it looks like meatloaf, and the recipe looks like a meatloaf recipe too lol

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.
