Shortcuts? I wonder if you can use pre-cooked real bacon. I usually buy the little bags without nitrites sold at Whole Foods and other stores. For Summer picnics and holidays, I make vegetarian baked beans but keep the bacon on the side for those who want to stir it into their beans. I was thinking that you could use the bacon in this recipe as well. I will try it and report back.
