For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of maple syrup or a pinch of smoked paprika to the bean mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, such as cannellini or Great Northern, for a unique twist.
This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an additional 10-15 minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold casserole.
If you like a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add a teaspoon of liquid smoke for a smoky flavor.
