What is the best mustard for hot dogs and burgers?
Pick by how much kick you want. Hot & Spicy for heat, Original Sweet & Spicy if you like it sweet, and Horseradish for a little bite without much heat. All three are 9oz jars from our family in St. Charles, MO.
The Usual
Where our own notes start
When our family wrote down the ways we use our mustard, hamburgers and hot dogs were near the top of the list. Nothing fancy about it: a good burger or a hot dog off the grill and a spoonful of the jar you like best.
That's why we make three flavors. At a cookout somebody always wants heat, somebody wants it sweet, and somebody just wants a little bite.
Which Jar for Which
Our suggestions
Hot & Spicy
$9.00 for a 9oz jar
A plain hot dog or a plain burger. Hot and sweet, with about the heat of a jalapeño or cayenne pepper, so there is a kick in every bite.
Original Sweet & Spicy
$9.00 for a 9oz jar
A hot dog with onions or relish, or a burger for the kids. Creamy and sweet with a little spice.
Horseradish
$9.00 for a 9oz jar
A cheeseburger. The bite cuts through the cheese, and it's our best seller.
Set Up a Burger Board
For a game day or a get-together
Put the burgers on a big cutting board with the buns, a pretzel bun or two for a change, and a pile of chips. Set all three jars around the board with a knife in each, and everybody builds their own.
Grilling brats as well? Here is which jar goes on which brat. For the potato salad on the side, use our mustard where you'd use mayonnaise; it's on our recipes page.
