For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to enhance the smoky flavor. Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tanginess to your liking by adding more or less brown sugar and vinegar. These baked beans are excellent served as a side dish with grilled meats, sandwiches, or cornbread.
