In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; add the onion and bell pepper; cook until veggies are softened, and start to brown slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles until no pink is left, 8-10 minutes. Discard excess fat.
Add the tomato sauce, Dr. Pepper, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; stir.
Bring to a simmer; lower heat to medium-low. Simmer 10 minutes until thickened but still saucy.
Adjust seasonings to taste, as necessary.
Serve immediately on favorite buns.
