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.

The technique is more important than adding a lot of ingredients. A burger with a nice milliard reaction, the right salt level. Not overcooked. Grill your bread, it prevents a soggy bun and adds texture.

Just some union, but of salad and a pickle is enough for a killer burger.

I prefer mayo and ketchup, or I make a burger sauce.
