Dry rubs, mac and cheese, and salad dressings all benefit from this zesty spice.

Sloppy Joe Casserole

Everything you love about a sloppy joe rolled into a casserole.

Sounds like a great way to use up dry mustard to us.

Beer-Cheese Fondue

A rich and creamy fondue like this uses a little dry mustard for brightness.

No, we use two full teaspoons for a punchy cheese sauce.

This dressing is a classic choice for salads featuring strawberries, blueberries, and grilled chicken.
