Tips
- Using canned beans with liquid simplifies the process by removing the need for overnight soaking.
- The Jack Daniel's provides essence and flavor without tasting harsh like pure whiskey.
- Be careful not to over-salt, as the broth and bacon already contain sodium.
- A splash of vinegar can be added at the end if desired for extra tang.
