For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon drippings with olive oil or vegetable broth. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of liquid smoke or omit the jalapenos. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your sweetness preference. These beans are even better the next day as the flavors meld together!
