Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and leave 1 tbsp of fat in the pan to sauté the diced onions until translucent.
Transfer the beans, cooked bacon, and sautéed onions into the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the beans in the crockpot and stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours until the beans are tender and the sauce is thick.
