Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Toast the hamburger buns, if desired, then spoon the Sloppy Joe BBQ mixture onto the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
