Instructions

Rinse the dried beans in a colander, discarding any damaged or broken beans.
In the crockpot, combine the rinsed beans, water, diced onion, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, yellow mustard, and pepper.
Cook on high for 9-10 hours. If beans are presoaked, use low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
During the last hour of cooking, add the crispy bacon and salt.

Notes

Presoaking the beans can help reduce cooking time; adjust settings accordingly.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar and molasses to taste.
