Slow Cooker Boston Baked Beans - Can be Vegan

Why bother making from scratch when you can buy many different varieties in a can?  Flavor and awesomeness!  There is nothing like homemade, especially when it's so darned easy!  I served this with grilled hot dogs on top and corn bread on the side.  To make the beans you will need:
1 pound Great Northern beans
8 cups water                                                              
1/2 pound bacon (Vegan - Smart Bacon)
1 onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (Vegan - Amy's Vegan)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1.  The night before, combine the Great Northern Beans and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Pour beans and their liquid into a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
2.  In the morning, drain off liquid, reserving 1 cup. Pour beans and the reserved liquid into the crock of a slow cooker. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 to 14 hours or on high for 8 hours. Stir before serving.
