For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the bean mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Feel free to substitute maple syrup for brown sugar for a more complex sweetness. For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon grease and use olive oil or another vegetable oil. You can also add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to mimic the smoky bacon flavor.
