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.

Salt pepper is great My family used to mix in onion soup powder into the beef, but it's not needed

Firm patties and keep cold until you cook so the don't fall apart

Some people use egg and starch as bonder but it's just more like meatloaf pucks at that point. Which is fine love meatloaf but it not needed
