Mustard holds a special place in my heart.

It is my FAVORITE condiment.

Shhh, don’t tell but I hate mayonnaise so when I make a sandwich, mine always has mustard on it. And it has to be French’s. Ohhhh my tangy friend how I love thee.

It is also an integral part of my all time favorite breakfast:

sausage biscuit with mustard

Yep, a sausage biscuit with mustard!

Hey now…don’t knock it till you try it.

My friend Christy and I were on a road trip when she first discovered just how delicious it is. She thought I was insane when I told her to ask for mustard the first morning I ordered a sausage biscuit. Then she tried it and got hooked for life.

I use mustard in my potato salad.

baked beans with mustard

In my baked beans.

And so many other foods and recipes that if I go on we are going to be here all day.

But it isn’t just yellow mustard:

Honey Mustard, great on chicken nuggets. Spicy brown mustard, perfect with corned beef. Dijon Mustard, fabulous on baked chicken.

And one of my all time favorite recipes using mustard?

 These never last long in my house, they are so much better than any sloppy joe you can make with canned sauce and they are so easy!!

So, what is YOUR favorite way to use mustard?

“French’s supplied me with samples to help facilitate this post. But I really have always used French’s mustard because it truly is my favorite. And even though you may think I have lost my mind by putting mustard on a sausage biscuit, you should try it. I have been eating mine that way since I was a very young child. Cause that is the way my granddaddy always fixed them for me. I never knew it wasn’t normal until I became an adult and people would look at me like I had lost my mind.”

 

This weekend being the 4th of July many of us plan to gather with family and friends to celebrate. Me, I plan to go to a small town even further into the mountains called Hiawassee to my Aunt and Uncle’s place where everyone will gather to enjoy some good food, good music and good company.

aunt ruth

The best part of going…I get to see my Aunt Ruth. She is such a lively and fun person to be around. And, it doesn’t hurt that she happens to be the best cook that I know. So, I thought I would share one of her recipes in honor of the upcoming holiday so that if you have plans to attend a cookout and need a fabulous covered dish to take…you would have something to knock peoples socks off!

Aunt Ruth’s Barbecue Baked Beans

1 gallon baked beans

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

1 TBSP mustard

4 TBSP vinegar

1/2 cup chopped onions

dash of garlic powder

1/4 tsp of hot sauce (adjust to taste)

1 small hot pepper

Mix all of the ingredients in a large baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Serve hot.

Remember, this is meant to feed a crowd. I am not sure that Ruth knows how to cook in small quantities because even if you just drop by her house on a Tuesday for no reason unannounced, there is a crowd around her table…and that is just how she likes it.
