1 lb mushrooms (portobello or cremini), diced
1 small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Directions
Cook the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced mushrooms, onion, and bell peppers. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and the vegetables are softened.
Add garlic and seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Add barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns. Add optional toppings and cover with the top bun.
Serve: Enjoy warm with chips, a side salad, or your favorite BBQ sides!
