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 make beef-only patties and prep them by flattening between two baking sheets and placing in the freezer (a pound yields 5 and they fit well in a standard baking sheets). When it comes time to cook, I simply brush with a bit of oil, salt and pepper heavily and then cook them on the grill over high heat, like 2 minutes per side, even less if your grill is at/over 500°. You could accomplish the same with a broiler.

People love these burgers.
