Dedicated fast food fans know it’s not always the entrees that stand out. Sides, sauces and beverages routinely top our list of the most popular\u00a0fast food copycat recipes<\/a>. Popeyes Mardi Gras mustard is one of these favorites.<\/p>\n While the chain is most famous for its fried chicken sandwiches, its sauces also have a cult following. Mardi Gras sauce is so popular that fervent fans buy packets on eBay, and online chat rooms have entire threads dedicated to re-creating the recipe! You don’t have to place bids, though; you can make many\u00a0Popeyes copycat recipes<\/a> at home\u2014including the special sauces. Our homemade Mardi Gras mustard recipe is one of the easiest to try.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir until well mixed. We like to use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix in the spices.<\/p>\n Cover the bowl and refrigerate. The flavors will develop over an hour or two.<\/p>\n After a chill, the sauce is ready to enjoy. Slather a generous amount on your favorite chicken sandwich<\/a>, or serve it as a dipping sauce with breaded chicken cutlets<\/a>, fries or pretzels. It’s also delicious on most cold or hot sandwiches\u2014especially with ham.<\/p>\n Not to be confused with honey mustard or hot sauce, Mardi Gras mustard is a cunning hybrid: an irresistible blend of sweet and savory, spicy and smooth. Thrillist named it<\/a> one of the top 10 fast food dipping sauces, writing, “It looks like a regular honey mustard, but tastes like a horseradish-filled take on the classic, with pleasant mustard notes in the finish.” The sauce is the perfect pairing for Popeyes’ menu, which features Southern comfort food<\/a> favorites like fried chicken, biscuits and Cajun-spiced sides.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for mega fans, it seems that the fast food restaurant has discontinued the beloved sauce at some locations. The good news is that it’s easy to make Mardi Gras mustard sauce at home with our copycat recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good news, spice lovers: Popeyes’ cult-favorite sweet-and-spicy sandwich spread is easy to make at home.
