"Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health."
-Thomas Tusser, Author
Mustard sauces make great Fall meals. If you keep a jar of great quality coarse ground mustard on hand, you will always have the foundation for a good meal. It can be used for so many great dishes and works extremely well in a creamy sauce such as this one. Always start with less mustard and add a little more after tasting, as there can be a wide variation in flavor between different brands. Purchas one that you know and like to keep on hand and your dishes will be more consistent.
