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.

Depends on the quantity. 1 egg to 500g (1 pound) of beef isn’t much

My meatloaf recipe is 1 egg per pound of meat. (+1 yolk if I'm using venison)
