Absolutely! Ground pork is a great alternative to ground wild hog and can be easily swapped in this recipe.
Regular pork bacon is a perfect substitute for beef bacon. I prefer using thick cut bacon, but it tends to stay a bit chewier and less crispy than regular bacon, so choose the one that you prefer according to what you'd like the final results to taste like.
