Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until they are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until very fragrant. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning or turning bitter.

Add the ground pork to the vegetable mixture, breaking it apart into crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the pork is completely browned and no longer pink, then drain any excess fat from the pan.

Stir in the BBQ sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and black pepper until completely combined. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat beautifully.

Remove the skillet from the heat and give it one final stir. Spoon the hot, saucy pork mixture generously onto the toasted hamburger buns and serve immediately with extra napkins!
