For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon or adding a splash of liquid smoke to the sauce. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, use the quick-soak method: Cover the beans with water in a pot, bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let soak for 1 hour before draining. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the heat level to your liking. These beans are even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully.
