Mix water sugar and pepper together and set aside.
Cook diced bacon over medium high heat stirring continually to keep bacon from burning. Once bacon is cooked stir in onions and cook them until they are tender and light brown. Once the onions are tender add the liquid mixture and the green beans.
Stir mixture and then bring to a boil.
When it come to a boil turn down the heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until ready to serve. (This allows all the flavors to soak into the beans.)
