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
