Hands up if your McDonald's nugget order includes hot mustard! While not exactly the same, this Hot Mustard Sauce is an extraordinary substitute for the real deal in a pinch. Easy to make and fantastic as a dip, sauce and spread on anything your mustard-loving heart desires.

I’m a HUGE fan of McDonald’s Hot Mustard Sauce. It’s my top choice, if they don’t have hot mustard, I will switch my entire order for something that doesn’t require dipping. I have been really lucky out here, though, most of the time it’s available, I do cross my fingers when I order because that well could run dry any day. So, to avoid the mustard sauce draught, I decided to come up with my own version. This way when I open that takeout bag and the mustard is missing, I’m already covered!

While it’s not quite McDonald’s hot sauce. As far as copycats go, this one is delicious! I know there will be a few people who won’t quite share my opinion, but let’s call this a Hot Mustard Sauce and not necessarily an exact replica of McDonald’s version. There’s some sort of spice I just can’t figure out in theirs. Either way, I’m more than thrilled with this version and will be using it on everything from nuggets (obviously), french fries (obviously), sandwiches and whatever else, my dipping heart desires, cause dang it’s delicious!

I followed McDonald’s list of ingredients to try and recreate this. Of course, I’m sure they have their own version of mustard, spices, etc. and it’ll probably never be truly recreated. But this mustard sauce is sweet and tangy with just the right amount of heat. I do believe that after a taste, if you’re a fan like I am, you’ll think this sauce is totally acceptable and have a dish to use when McDonald’s is out of our beloved version, yet again!

How to Make Hot Mustard Sauce

This sauce is about as easy as they come! Literally whisk everything together and then let it sit and marry for a couple of hours. Leftover mustard sauce? If there is any store in an airtight container for about three days. That’s it, it couldn’t be easier!

So, the next time the Golden Arches run out of those little yellow mustard cups, no worries! Pull this recipe out and in minutes you’ll have a sauce worthy of dipping crispy nuggets and hot french fries! And just like that your meal is saved!
