Gather the ingredients. Additionally, you'll need a medium saucepan.
Combine the ingredients: In a medium saucepan, pour in the entire can of Dr. Pepper, the tomato sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and all the dry seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper). Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
Simmer: Set the heat to medium-high and stir occasionally. Once the mixture reaches a gentle simmer (small bubbles around the edges), reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning. The sauce should reduce and thicken to a syrupy consistency. It will thicken more as it cools.
Cool and store: Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely. Transfer it to a clean, airtight container or mason jar and store it in the fridge for up to 1 month.
