  Recently, nearly complete intersection ideals were defined by Boocher and
Seiner to establish lower bounds on Betti numbers for monomial ideals
(arXiv:1706.09866). Stone and Miller then characterized nearly complete
intersections using the theory of edge ideals (arXiv:2101.07901). We extend
their work to fully characterize nearly complete intersections of arbitrary
generating degrees and use this characterization to compute minimal free
resolutions of nearly complete intersections from their degree 2 part.
