Scald milk in double boiler. Blend in ketchup and mustard thoroughly. Serve hot on toasted or grilled cheese sandwiches, closed or open-faced, or toasted English muffins.

Lots of sandwich filling variations; for instance: 1. Add tuna to sauce, serve with toast. 2. Add deviled or ground ham, pour over poached egg on toasted English muffin 3. Add grated cheee, cover burger on bun.

Other ideas: Pour sauce over sliced egg on a toasted English muffin. Make a Hero sandwich with ham and chicken (or bacon and sliced chicken) on a split French loaf or roll and cover with sauce.
