Bacon is mentioned in the original directions but the dish is tagged as Vegan. Omit the bacon for a vegan version, or include it for a traditional non-vegetarian variation.

Ensure you use enough water during the baking process; baked beans should have a saucy consistency. Add water a little at a time if the mixture looks too dry.

Great Northern beans and Navy beans are interchangeable in this recipe.
