National Beans ‘N’ Franks Day is observed annually on July 13, primarily in the United States. This day celebrates the dish known as beans and franks, which consists of baked beans and sliced hot dogs. The origins of baked beans trace back to Native American cuisine and were adopted by English colonists in the 17th century, with the dish gaining popularity through cookbooks in the 19th century. One notable recipe for pork and beans appeared in the 1832 cookbook *The American Frugal Housewife*. The dish evolved over time, with Gilbert Van Camp pioneering canned baked beans during the Civil War, leading to the creation of products like Beanee Weenee. On National Beans ‘N’ Franks Day, people can enjoy the dish by making it from scratch, opening a can, dining at a diner, or hosting a cookout, often accompanied by sides like grilled vegetables and coleslaw.
