The Mustard Man – A Review

The Mustard Man

“You should do something with this!” Were the words that Tim, the owner and creator of The Mustard Man, would constantly hear. For years Tim would make his homemade mustard and bring it to social gatherings and family holidays. Everyone wanted to have some of his amazing creation. It all started with him making it for a tailgating event and once that ball started to roll there was no way to stop it, and we are so glad it didn’t!

The Mustard Man is an Ohio based company. They are currently available at upscale retailers such as: Heinen’s, West Point Market, Anderson’s, Buehler’s and many more. They are constantly gaining popularity and becoming available in more upscale retailers. You are also able to make purchases through their website (click here to order today). The Mustard Man ships anywhere across the US

The Mustard Man has 3 unique flavors which are so versatile that you can use them every day. Simply Horsey, Simply Peppered, and Simply Sweet are the current flavors The Mustard Man has available.

Simply Horsey:

“A very smooth Horseradish taste that won’t make your eyes water but will tickle your palate. An Excellent addition to Roast Beef, Prime Rib, Corned Beef, Brats, Burgers, hard boiled eggs, and salads. Goes great with a Sharp Cheese and crackers.”

**I love this on tater tots

Simply Peppered:

“You must love ground black pepper. This mustard is a perfect match for your Grilled meats like Steaks, Chicken, Burgers, Brats. Simply Peppered goes great with roasted vegetables and is excellent in our “Potato Gratin” recipe.”

**I think this sauce would be perfect on a left over Easter ham sandwich.

Simply Sweet:

“A softer, creamier mustard that won’t offend the “Non-Mustard” friend or family member who attends the gathering.

This Mustard is definitely a great “Party Dip” for Chips, Cheese, Crackers, Burgers, Brats, Deli Sandwiches, Chicken Salad, Tuna Salad, Chicken Tenders, or Chicken Nuggets. You might think Deviled Eggs or Egg Salad.”

**I would pair this sweet potato fries.

 There are just so many options. Some tried and true recipes can be found here. Recipes like “Simply Horsey” Planked Salmon and “Simply Peppered” Gruyere Potato Gratin.
Using the “Simply Horsey” mustard I made my family favorite Mustard Chicken. This is one of my “having people over” dishes. You know, the one that is fun and sorta fancy but nothing too crazy that you might mess up. This is a scrumptious dish that everyone will talk about the next day.

Fall Off the Bone Ribs Recipe

How to cook Fall Off the Bone Ribs

Have you ever had that moment when you are eating ribs and they just melt off the bone? Where you just put them up to your lips and its like they are jumping into your mouth? Making a slab that can do this is way easier then you might think. It’s all in the timing and temperature. Below I will show you how you can achieve that fall off the bone rib you desire.

You will need:

1. Cut the slab into sections with 3 or 4 ribs per section.

2. Cover your 9 x 13 casserole dish with several layers of tinfoil (this will be important for steaming).

3. Sprinkle an ample amount of Adolf’s Meat Tenderizer all over your ribs.

 

1

 

4. Rub some of the BBQ sauce on the ribs by hand.

2

 

5. Add a small about of water to the bottom of the dish.  I typically add around 1/3 to 1/2 a cup of water. Some people like to add more but I feel like that is plenty.

 

6. TIGHTLY seal the top with tin foil.

3

 

7. Cook at 450 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Then loosen the tinfoil cover a tiny bit.

8. Lower temp to 275 degrees. Cook for 2 hours.

9. Lowers temp to 225 degrees. Cook for 1 hour.

10. Add more sauce if desired.

Mexican Meatloaf Recipe

This is one of my husband’s favorite recipes I have created. I typically use an all beef mixture. You can use the normal beef/pork/veal mixture or any combination. Just a warning – if you use the all beef mixture it will be heavy and dense! We like this version occasionally but others might not like how heavy and thick it is. This is a personal preference. Please choose your meat accordingly.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb beef (or any meatloaf combo you like)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 bag of shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 can (rinsed) black beans
  • 1 taco season package

ingredients

1. Whisk your eggs.

Stuffed Breakfast Rolls

Stuffed Breakfast Rolls

Breakfast for dinner, anyone?!

Ingredients:

8 Breakfast sausages
5 Eggs
1 Can of crescent rolls (8 rolls)
4 Slices of cheese
salt

First, scramble your eggs LEAVING 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw egg for later.

eggs

Cook your breakfast sausages (I prefer stove top over microwaving).

sausage

Now break your cheese slices in half.
Unroll the can of crescent rolls and separate (they are triangle shaped).
Lay the cheese on the roll. Place 1 sausage and 1 tablespoon (or more) of egg on roll. Roll up as if making a regular roll. Pull sides to make ‘larger’ and pull over to cover the ends. Doing this will keep the stuffing in.

wrapped

Once stuffed and sealed turn over to help seal them during the cooking process.
Now take that left over raw egg and brush the tops of your rolls.
After they are glazed with the raw egg sprinkle with salt (I used Pink Himalayan).

brush

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

done

Enjoy!!
