Uses for yellow mustard?

[Rosehip]

I almost never use yellow - I prefer dijon both in recipes & on sandwiches. But now I'm the proud owner of two full bottles of French's yellow that people brought over for BBQs. My st bottle got thrown out after I realized it was two years past the expiration date and only about 1/3 used...

So, what do you use it for, or should I just use it as I would dijon?

staining clothes?


Sorry, couldn't resist.

I don't care for yellow mustard in most cases, but I prefer it for potato salad and deviled eggs. Dijon has too much "presence" in those recipes for me and the yellow mustard has just enough bite without adding too much of an aggressive mustardy kick.

Mustard pickles?

I'm from the South and we call that the "redneck mustard" -- I mostly use it when I make deviled eggs, egg salad (dijon just doesn't cut it in that for some reason). Oh and my mom makes a good potato salad with it, it's quite a bit tangy with mustard and vinegar....

Not like you'd use up a lot, but I've developed the habit of using it liberally ontop chili dogs (on top of the chili).

Also good on egg-sausage breakfast muffins.

For hot dogs and hamburgers of course. Of always been a huge mustard fan and married the perfect man: he doesn't care for ketchup, so he even puts it on his fries sometimes.

Mix it with red wine vinegar and olive oil to make a tasty, tangy dressing.

Use it as a marinade base. Rub your meat liberally w it and then coat w a dry rub and let it sit at least 30 min before cooking. The mustard flavor diseappears, but it makes a great glue.

Similarly, on corned beef after boiling, rub it with mustard, coat w brown sugar (or sucanat) and bake 30 min or so to create a nice flavorful crust.

What goes in your dry rub? Is this for beef only, or also for chicken? Thanks!

It'll work on anything. I dont typically do chicken just because i like crisp skin.

The rub i use might be something off epicurious, or something off the back of the kosher salt box. I dont really have a favorite rub. But you can even buy one premade.
