This forth of July I got to sample McCormick Grill Mates through Crowdtap. They sent me a TON of stuff to try out. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to try everything yet but I plan on updating this post as my family and friends get a chance to try all the different products.
McCormick sent a variety of Seasoning mixes, Rubs, sauces and seasonings along with a McCormick Apron to wear while we were out grilling.
The Seasoning Mixes they sent me were:
- 1 Steakhouse Burgers- Smoky Applewood Seasoning Mix

- 1 Steakhouse Burgers- Steakhouse Mushroom Seasoning Mix
The Rubs they sent me included:
- 1 Tennessee Smokehouse BBQ Rub
- 1 Memphis Pit BBQ Rub
The Marinades they sent me:
- 1 Smokein' Sweet Tea Marinade
Sauces:
- 2 Montreal Steak Sauces
Seasonings:
- 1 Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Seasoning
- 3 Montreal Steak Seasonings
- 1 Worcestershire Pub Burger Seasoning (Which is what we tried at the cookout)

My family was already planning on having a little cook out for the 4th of July so this sampling worked out nicely. By the time I was excepted and received the package my mom already had the menu planned and the food bought so so far the only thing we got to try was the Worcestershire Pub Burger Seasoning.
Mom of course already had the burgers made so we just added the seasoning on top. Dad said that this was a little hard to do because the seasoning chunks were so large, unlike salt which is a lot smaller and is easier to get to stick on food. Next time since well have the seasoning before making the burgers, we want to mix the seasoning in before shaping the patties. Overall my family really enjoyed the Worcestershire Pub Burger Seasoning. My mom said that it had a good spicy flavor but wasn't too spicy or overpowering. My 3 year old niece and 4 year old nephew even enjoyed it which says a lot since kids can be pretty picky.
Some of the family enjoying their McCormick Burgers and my nephew of course making silly faces because that's all he does in pictures now.

My sister made a pretty dessert, we were in a hurry and had to frost it while it was still warm which is why its falling apart.

We had fun getting a chance to spend some time with Nana riding around on the golf cart, with Holly her dog of course.

We also had a great time riding around on our bicycles. Lolli and Pops drive way is much bigger and a lot more fun to ride on.
