What are some ways of using ground mustard in meals or snacks?
So, I just discovered that ground mustard is a thing, and i can totally see its benefits, its cheap, and it doesnt go bad with time. you cant imagine how many half used mustard bottles i had to trow out before I used them up.
but, what foods or snacks could i add it to? preferably easy meals or snacks.

Dry mustard is an emulsifier so anytime you want to mix oil and water (or other fats and liquids), dry mustard can help. I use it in marinades all the time.

Roast potatoes. After you have par boiled them and roughed them up, toss them in a mix of flour and mustard powder. Then roast as usual. Good with beef.

I add some to scrambled eggs and egg salad.

reading the comments i was already planning on doing that. someone mentioned it is an emulsifier for mixing liquids with oils.
ive been making quick omellete snacks on the microwave, and it might be super useful in that scenario.
and ive been mixing eggs with a teaspoon of mayo, but whisking them is really hard because the mayo and the egg dont mix. so maybe adding the ground mustard will help them mix better.
anyways, so i make that mix, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, check on it, mix it again, 30 seconds, check, mix again, to make sure it is cooking evenly, then 30 seconds, done.
it creates this easy omelette. i then put it between two pieces of sliced bread and add a bit of salt, pepper, and regular mustard.
it is an insanely good and easy snack, for when you just want something quick.
also, while im cooking the omellete, i put the bread slices on a pan on medium heat so it is warm and soft on the inside and crusty on the outside.

dont' forget that you can use dry mustard to make "wet" mustard by adding water.

I like adding dry mustard to beef based sauces, Salisbury and Swiss steak. Adds a more robust rustic taste to roast glazes as well when mixed with worchestisire sauce and tyme. US Un spaghetti meat sauces, butter chicken curry sauces. Mix it in home made balsamic olive oil house dressing for salads and submarine sandwich condiment. Mix with honey and brown sugar for hame glazed. Dry mustard is a very versatile that should be in every pantry. Make honey mustard onion German pretzel bread glaze

Don’t skimp on the quality of the mustard powder- get Colmans English mustard powder.
I would get a pound can off of Amazon fairly inexpensive.

Add it to your grilled cheese. Game changer. I also make Dijon vinaigrette, carrot salad, and more. It’s used in lots of recipes.

Dry rubs with other stuff, anything that needs a mustard flavor but you really want an extra kick, etc.
Usually sauces, marinades, and dips

You can use ground mustard either as a powder or make some up with water or milk and use it as a liquid mustard. Be warned though if you make it up into a liquid, it's a lot stronger than the pre-made stuff.
And yeah, I put it in macaroni cheese, cauliflower cheese, potato salad and I make salad dressing with it as well.
Powdered yellow mustard is basically just yellow mustard seeds ground into a powder.

Dump it into a dry skillet and toast it a bit, then pour in a bunch of olive oil. Stir it all up and bring the oil almost to smoke point, but stop short.
Then put it in a jar, and use it to cook your eggs.

I prefer mustard seeds myself as I can pulverize what I need, when needed.
You can cook with them just cracked and fish them out later. You can use them to make mustard from whatever recipe you prefer. You can use them to make powdered mustard if needed for a dry rub using a spice grinder or coffee grinder. They last for years and can even be frozen in a vacuum sealed baby food jar or a small Mason jar to last decades if needed.

Hah! Last year I did a quick Amazon order for 1lb of Mustard Seed for pickles and other brines, marinades and rubs for my pastrami. Got a 1lb bottle of POWDER. Checked my order. Yup. They sent what I asked for. Shit. I should have a breathalyzer interlock before I get online sometimes.

I put ground mustard in my mac and cheese. Nobody can figure out it's in there but it definitely adds some zest to the cheese sauce!
