  • Stone Ground Mustard: has more bite and better texture than Dijon or yellow mustard.
  • Worcestershire: flavor baby. Flavor.
  • Paprika: smoked paprika brings a whole new level of depth, really giving it that cowboy kick.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: If you can’t handle the heat, stay in the kitchen anyway and just leave it out.
