Ground Mustard contains only ground seeds of the mustard plant. This slightly spicy herb gives mustard it's characteristic flavor. In North America almost all ground mustard is make from mild white (yellow) seeds.

Prepared mustard contain the seeds, but other ingredients are added to help compliment increase flavor. Acid, water, garlic, onion, salt, turmeric, chili, are common ingredients added to American style mustard.

Powdered or ground mustard tends to have a milder flavor than prepared mustard because the seeds are uncooked and lose some of the freshness during grounding. Prepared mustard can also be spicier due to use of black or brown mustard seeds instead of white to get a hot mustard and longer heating during processing.

If it is necessary to substitute one for the other in small amounts, the recipe will taste a bit different but will not harm a recipe for roasts, sauces, salads and most cooked dishes. However, you cannot mix water and mustard powder to replicate prepared mustard if you need it as a condiment for Hot Dogs, pretzels, etc.

It means liquid mustard rather than mustard powder. Any mustard that isn't powder or seeds is "prepared" - Dijon as well as yellow "hot dog" mustard.
