For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large oven-safe pot with a lid or transfer the mixture to a baking dish after browning the beef and bacon. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, such as great northern beans or cannellini beans. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors actually improve as it sits!
