Peach Bacon Bourbon Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 21-ounce can peach pie filling
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 6 strips cooked crumbled bacon (because bacon makes everything better)
- 1/4 cup bourbon for the cake, not just for you
Instructions
- Preheat and Pour: Crank that oven up to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for magic. Dump your peach pie filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish like the culinary rebel you are.
- Bourbon Bliss: Drizzle that bourbon all over the peaches. But remember, you’re cooking with it *and* sipping it, so pace yourself! Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peaches, then drizzle the melted butter on top like you're in a food commercial. Finally, add your crumbled bacon for that sweet, salty perfection.
- Bake and Indulge: Bake for 45 minutes or until golden, bubbling, and smelling like happiness. Let it cool slightly (because we’re not animals), then serve. And yes, by all means, enjoy a little more bourbon while you wait. It’s the chef’s privilege.
