Comments & Reviews
Rhonda says
Hi, I’m want to try this recipe, but I’m not a fan of mustard. I have an old bottle of Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard, but don’t wish to go out and buy two more mustard flavors. Will it make this recipe less delicious if I just use the mustard I have or is the grainy mustard and Dijon mustard a critical part of the flavor?
Taylor Stinson says
Hi Rhonda! I believe the mustard you have will work perfectly fine. That said, if you don’t like mustard this recipe does really have that flavor so I’m not sure you would like it. Just wanted to provide that heads up!
