For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef and bacon a day ahead and storing them in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld even further. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some people prefer a sweeter bean, while others like a more savory flavor. If you don't have liquid smoke, a dash of smoked paprika can add a similar smoky flavor.
