Prep all ingredients as described above.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until fully combined. Form the mixture into patties.

Layer the bun with lettuce, the burger patty, and a drizzle of additional BBQ sauce if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
