Prepare slow cooker with a liner for easy cleanup, or use non-stick spray if not using a liner.

Open the canned white navy beans and shake them to mix.

In the slow cooker, combine the white navy beans, chopped bacon, diced onion, 1/2 cup brown sugar, tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Mix everything together well to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Cook the mixture on high for 2.5 hours in the slow cooker.

Alternatively, you can cook on the stovetop in a pot over medium-high heat for 1.5 hours.

After cooking, check the beans; they should have a delicious bacon flavor with sweetness from the brown sugar and syrup.

Serve the beans in a bowl and enjoy.
