Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion. Cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, kidney beans, and navy beans. Stir in the cooked onions and garlic.
To the bowl, add ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix everything thoroughly until the beans are evenly coated.
Pour the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are bubbling and slightly caramelized on top.
Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, and enjoy your homemade 3 Kinds of Beans Baked Bean Dish!
