For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using smoked bacon. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add an extra tablespoon or two of brown sugar. To prevent the bacon on top from burning, you can add the top 4 slices during the last hour of baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans. Great Northern or kidney beans can be a nice alternative. The bourbon flavor intensifies as it bakes, but if you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount slightly.
