For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add a teaspoon of liquid smoke for a similar smoky flavor. Adjust the amount of jalapeños and cayenne pepper to control the spiciness of the dish. Feel free to experiment with different types of beer. A dark beer like a stout or porter will add a deeper, more robust flavor. These beans are even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
