This dish is perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal, offering a robust beefy flavor with a slight zing from the lemon and mustard. It&# 226;ÂÂs a satisfying, protein-packed meal that brings the warmth of home cooking to your table.

Directions
-
Combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 thick patties.
-
In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter or margarine over medium-high heat.
-
Add the patties to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side.
-
While the patties cook, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, dry mustard, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of water to thin the mixture slightly.
-
Transfer the cooked patties to hot serving plates.
-
Cut two shallow slits (gashes) into the top of each patty and sprinkle the prepared spice and sauce mixture into the slits.
-
Top each patty with a small pat of the remaining butter or margarine if desired, allowing it to melt over the hot meat.
-
Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the hot skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
-
Bring the skillet liquid to a boil, then immediately pour this pan sauce over the hamburgers.
-
Serve immediately while hot.
