Mustard in macaroni cheese!! Yay or Nay?

Misty_Eye21 · 01-11-2012, 20:05

I personally think it ruins it. But a lot of people I know prefer it with mustard. I'm intrigued to see what others think?

I put mustard in it and some tarragon.

Aarghawasp! · 01-11-2012, 20:10

Yay! Just a little enhances the flavour.

Never tried tarragon! I tend to just keep it simple, know a lot of people who add tomatoes too but I prefer it on it's own without any add ons!

I often use mustard in a cheese sauce

clm2071 · 01-11-2012, 21:07

Always a bit of mustard in mine

rjb101 · 01-11-2012, 21:13

I sprinkle Cayenne pepper on mine

wonderwall2012 · 01-11-2012, 21:14

I have never thought about putting that in it I must try.

As long as its got a crispy cheese topping though YUMEE

Miriams Sister · 01-11-2012, 21:18

I always add half a teaspoon of mustard powder to the flour when making the cheese sauce.

LCDMAN · 01-11-2012, 21:45

A little grain mustard, oh and grate some nutmeg on top.

This is what I do.

annette kurten · 02-11-2012, 06:56

oh yay.

Annie1fortennis · 02-11-2012, 07:38

Yup always. Brings out the flavour of the cheese

Utopian Girl · 02-11-2012, 08:22

Definitely! ( love grainy mustard in mash too)

Victoria Sponge · 02-11-2012, 10:35

As others have said, yes, it enhances the flavour of the cheese. Just a little needs to be used, it won't give a 'mustardy' taste.

Lainiomonkio · 02-11-2012, 10:48

Total yay! And I vary the mustard depending on the mix of cheese I use. English mustard with sweeter cheeses like Jarlesberg and mellower mustard like Dijon when I use cheddar...

Sometimes I put a little marmite in as well. Brings out the umami!

missyalicia · 02-11-2012, 11:46

Just freshly ground pepper in mine. Cooked til crispy and lots of brown sauce on the side.

molliepops · 02-11-2012, 12:21

Just enough to enhance the cheese if you can taste the mustard you have added too much.

SHAFT · 02-11-2012, 13:05

I've never tried mustard but will give it a go next time!

Adding pesto sauce works really well too.

My Mum used to make it with bacon and spinach when I was a kid.

Abriel · 02-11-2012, 13:44

I use a tiny bit of mustard powder and some worcestershire sauce. I once used a bit of that squirty hotdog mustard and it was horrible, far too strong and made the macaroni look like something out of packet, it was so yellow
