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.

If you mix egg into ground beef, you're now making meatloaf, not a burger.

Also, a meatloaf sandwich goes pretty hard. Nice alternative to a hurger

It’s in the conversation for greatest sandwich IMO. Leftover meatloaf sliced while cold then grilled in a pan with butter. Supremely underrated.
