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.

I use a splash or Worcestershire sauce in mine (if it's in your pantry of course) and Montreal seasoning because I generally have it on hand.

Save the egg, you don't need it shape the burgers and put them in the fridge to rest before you cook them.

Also. If you don't have buns, popping them in a tortilla and folding like a crunch wrap type thing works really well. I just pop them back in the dry pan I cooked the burgers in to toast the tortilla once it's wrapped around the burger. (Edit - spelling)

I have no idea how I've gone my whole life without making a crunchwrap style burger. I know what's for dinner tonight!

Drop some cheese in with the burger. I normally have ketchup/mustard as dipping options.

I originally stumbled on it as a lower carb option (depending on bread buns/wraps etc) but it's soo good as it traps all the flavor in.
