For a smoky depth of flavor, consider adding a smoked ham hock or a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the beans during the initial simmering stage. If you prefer a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. These beans taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
