Method
 

  1. Add ground beef to a mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Mix gently until combined, keeping texture light and not overworked.
  3. Heat skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Add beef and cook, breaking apart or shaping as desired, until browned evenly.
  5. Stir in BBQ sauce and cook briefly until coated and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
