Stone ground mustard is a type of Dijon mustard that has been traditionally made by grinding whole grain mustard seeds between two millstones. It is thicker and more coarse than other types of mustards, and it’s often used as an alternative to yellow mustard.
A few great substitutes are mustard sauce, yellow mustard, and mustard butter, which are all great for adding some extra flavor to sandwiches, dips, and dressings.
If you are looking for a substitute for stone ground mustard because you don’t have any on hand or can’t find it in your grocery store, here are some recipes for creating your own substitutes.
Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of honey until well blended then stir in 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish and 3 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon-style mustard. Make sure you stir in the horseradish and mustard until well blended.
Mustard sauce can work great with fish or chicken. You can also make a mustard sauce by combining spicy mayonnaise until well blended for a spicier approach.

2. Mustard Butter
Combine two teaspoons of Dijon-style mustard with two tablespoons softened butter until well blended then stir in a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This is a popular substitute for stone ground mustard, but it can be used on any type of food or even spread on sandwiches too!
This recipe is great if you are just trying to use up some leftover ingredients in your fridge! If you want something thicker or spicier, try adding more prepared horseradish (mustards like Stone Ground Mustard have less than yellow mustards).

3. Yellow Mustard
The third substitute for stone-ground mustard is yellow mustard. If you use yellow mustard, it will be spicy and the flavor is much sharper than stone-ground or honey-prepared mustards. It can pair well with ham, smoked turkey, or even chicken. Talking about stone ground mustard, you can use these English mustard substitutes as well.
This makes it a much more versatile mustard substitute while providing around four servings! It has a little bit of vinegar added to it so if you are looking for something with an acidic taste then try using yellow mustard!
Less tangy than dijon mustard
Add to your cooking routine
Great for those who love vinegar
4. Dijon
Dijon can be made at home by combining one tablespoon each of dry white wine (or water), white-wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and fresh minced parsley leaves; stir into two tablespoons softened butter until well blended then stir in three tablespoons olive oil slowly while stirring constantly.
However, not everyone likes this type of substitution because there aren’t any strong flavorful ingredients like horseradish. Despite this, it still is a good substitute.

The last alternative to Stone Ground Mustard is spicy brown mustard. Spicy Brown Mustard has a tangy and slightly sweet flavor which pairs well with beef or pork like burgers, meatloaf, and any type of roasted meats (not seafood).
It will make three servings so it’s great if you want to use up leftover ingredients from your fridge! This recipe comes pretty close to tasting the same as Honey Prepared Mustards do.
