I received a fun challenge from the Mystery Ingredient Blogger Showcase a few weeks back: have a mystery ingredient sent my way and come up with my very own recipe using it.
I received the package last week and found the following inside:
Coleman’s Mustard and Mustard Powder! Coleman’s has been producing mustard products in England since the early 1800’s so they know their product. As one of the oldest existing food brands, Coleman’s yellow tin is a symbol of quality mustard powder and prepared mustard.
I have never worked with mustard powder before so I wanted to use that in a recipe. I was just at a wedding in Texas and didn’t have time to get some barbecue while I was there, so I’ve had quite the craving for ribs. I have no idea what a traditional Texas barbecue sauce would be (and a friend of mine told me mine is actually more of a Kansas City sauce) but I figured mustard powder would be a great addition to my Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs and would hopefully fulfill my craving.
Coleman’s Mustard Powder is no joke; it’s pretty hot. It’s made from a mixture of both brown and white mustard seeds and heats up when added to a liquid. So I used it sparingly in the sauce but for the spice enthusiasts, feel free to increase the amount used.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. baby back ribs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (I used Sugar In The Raw)

- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2-4 drops hot sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Coleman’s mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste Continue reading Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs
