For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the bacon while it's cooking. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can partially mash some of the baked beans before combining them with the other ingredients. These baked beans can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors actually improve as they sit!
