Author Notes

I'm a huge fan of the Washington Redskins, as a season ticket holder I tailgate at every home game. This recipe was passed down to me from a fellow tailgater a number of years ago. I have made a few changes over time, replacing yellow mustard with a combination of spicy & stone ground mustards. I replaced chopped raw onions with pickled red onions. I typically double for tailgating. —Dave J
