NATIONAL BEANS ‘N’ FRANKS DAY
National Beans ‘N’ Franks Day on July 13th encourages us to make our favorite recipes during National Hot Dog Month. This simple recipe cooks up a delicious dish in no time and goes well with summertime barbecues, too!
#BeansNFranksDay
Also known as “beanie weenies,” both dishes are similar to pork ‘n’ beans, but substitute hot dogs or frankfurters for the pork.
Baked beans became popular during the Civil War in the United States. They would later become one of the first canned convenience foods on the market in the 1890s. As a result, baked beans became a staple of the chuckwagon. However, it is unknown when adding franks to the beans became a culinary technique.
The franks, or frankfurters, can be beef, pork, or a combination of both. The ground meat is blended with spices and seasonings before being cured. These sausage style wieners or hot dogs come with or without casings. Before adding them to the beans, the franks are sliced into bite-sized pieces.
While beans and franks is one name, Van Camp’s owns the trademark to the Beanie Weenies name. Another brand name is Franks & Beans.
Home cooks make beans and franks, too. Recipes can include beans, hot dogs, brown sugar, onion, mustard, barbecue sauce, and spices. The United States isn’t the only place recipes are found, either. Around the world, beans and franks enjoy wide popularity.
Beans and franks go well with coleslaw, grilled corn on the cob, and vegetable kabobs. Add some iced tea and pie to complete the meal.

How many different names can you recall for a Hot Dog?...............

Yesss!
Officer's Mess at Tel Nof Air Base, Israel.
I know there were no pork products in it, so I have no idea how they made it so damned good.

Richard Nixon made it to the WH with them.
The high-end college he attended would not elect him student body president. They had weekly dinners at high end restaurants. Nixon organized hot dogs and beans get togethers at someones apartment. The ‘poor’ crowd outnumbered the rich one and Nixon won the next election.
We used to make our own salt pork for beans- had a vat in a closet packed with salt. We a,ways loaded up the beans with the salt pork as everyone loved it, and it would dissappear quickly
