For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a tablespoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer the beans in a large pot for 2-3 hours, or until tender, adding more water as needed. A bay leaf added during the pressure cooking or simmering process can enhance the flavor of the beans. Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lime juice at the end for a touch of acidity.
