It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of mustard for this recipe?
Yes, you can use dijon mustard or any other preferred mustard, but it will change the flavor a bit. Regular prepared (yellow) mustard will give the most authentic flavor.
Is there a substitute for Heinz 57 sauce?
You can use barbecue sauce or Worcestershire sauce as a substitute, but the taste will be slightly different.
Can I freeze this sauce?
You can but it won't have quite the same consistency when thawed.
Can I make this sauce spicier?
Yes, add a small amount of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste.
Can I use this sauce as a marinade?
Yes, it can be used as a marinade for chicken or pork. You can thin it a bit and add it to a ziptop bag to marinate the meat or just brush it on and let the meat chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. If used as a marinade, discard it after marinating. It can also be used as a salad dressing.
How can I make this sauce thinner?
Add a small amount of water or vinegar to thin the sauce if desired.
How should I store leftover sauce?
Store in an airtight container or squeeze bottle in the refrigerator.

I don't know I've ever had MCDs honey mustard but this stuff is pretty good! Needed something to go with chicken tenders and this worked out brilliantly. Will 100% make again.

I add creamy Italian dressing and Dijon mustard and it tastes just like the McDonaldâs version

I took the suggestion of adding mayo and that made it wonderfully creamy (didn't alter anything else)

It was good, but I added a tbsp of mayonnaise & a dash of Chinese five spice ( I was out of cayenne) & it took it over the top. I will definitely make it again.

Great recipe. I was really glad to see this since the McDonald's in my area have moved on from this their classic honey mustard to a different kind, which is more like a brown mustard. Unlike the recipe for the McDonalds Hot Mustard on this site, this actually tastes like the real deal, and very easy to make.
