Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 0.5 cup Diced green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 units Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sliced pickles

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Add the barbecue sauce and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
While the beef mixture is simmering, lightly butter the burger buns with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and toast them in a separate skillet or toaster until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwiches, spoon the spicy beef mixture onto the bottom bun. Top with sliced pickles and shredded lettuce. Add the top bun to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your flavorful Diablo Sandwich!
