For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and ground beef. Sauté diced vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms in olive oil as a substitute. To add a smoky flavor, use smoked bacon or a dash of liquid smoke. Adjust the amount of brown sugar and vinegar to suit your taste preferences. Some like it sweeter, others prefer a tangier flavor. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits.
