I'm not a big fan of pork, so I substituted beef bacon in this recipe. It turned out great! The beans were still very flavorful.

I've been making these beans for years and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love the way the beans soak up all the flavor from the bacon and molasses.

These beans were a hit at my last potluck! I made a double batch and they were all gone by the end of the night. I loved the addition of maple syrup and brown sugar, it gave them a really unique and delicious flavor.
