National Beans 'n' Franks Day

July 13th is National Beans 'n' Franks Day in the United States.

Beans 'n' franks is a dish made from hot dogs and baked beans. It is also known as beanie weenies, which is a trademark, and is similar to pork & beans, but it's not known what the exact origins of the dish are.

Tins of beans 'n' franks are commercially available pre-made, with some tins of baked beans having small sausages already added to the beans, and this is certainly the easiest way of "making" the dish. Alternatively, they can be made at home by simply cooking both beans and sausages separately and mixing them together when cooked. The baked beans could be made from scratch, too - as could the hot dogs, but the latter is a bit more time consuming. Buying the pre-made tins is definitely the easiest way of preparing the dish.
