Lots of people think of mustard sauce as just another simple condiment, but it’s amazingly versatile. You can do plenty more with it than top your hot dogs and burgers and dunk your pretzels and pigs in a blanket. So, in case you need some kitchen inspiration, we’ve compiled some of our favorite uses for mustard sauce.
And—even though you might think we’re biased—there’s no better mustard sauce to use than BarbaCuban Original 455 Sauce. Unless, of course, you prefer yours with more heat. Then, go with BarbaCuban All Purpose Hot 455 Sauce, which is the same mustard sauce made spicier with some extra smoked ghost pepper. It’s got a nice, slow burn, but it’s not so crazy spicy that it numbs your mouth or prevents you from tasting your food.
