Bourbon Bacon Pulled Pork

Bourbon Bacon Pulled Pork pairs tender, slow-cooked pork with a mellow sweetness from brown sugar and a tangy lift of apple cider vinegar. A splash of bourbon deepens the flavor while crumbled bacon adds smoky crunch and richness. Serve it piled on buns or over mashed potatoes for a comforting dinner or game-day crowd-pleaser.
