McCormick Grill Mates® 4th of July Party

The 4th of July party we had was great, hours of back yard BBQ by the pool and ended the night with a great fireworks show. The food we cooked up, and the reviews of the McCormick Grill Mates® seasoning, sauces, and rubs are below!

Steak - Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend

 Lightly covered the steak on both sides with the Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend, along with black pepper. Add cayenne pepper if you like an extra kick! The Montreal Steak Blend gives the steak a really nice flavor, much better than you would find on a steakhouse steak!







Pork - Grill Mates® Molasses Bacon Seasoning Blend

 For the pork, lightly covering with the Molasses Bacon Blend will give it a nice, light bacon flavor. Depending on how much you put on, the Molasses Bacon Blend can clump up when cooking so it is best to wait until close to the end to put it on, unless you like it like that!





Hamburger - Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend

 Used the Montreal Steak Seasoning on a hamburger, and it tasted great! The hamburger had been mixed with finely cut garlic, add some black pepper and it gives you a great combination of flavors.








Meatballs - Grill Mates® Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce

 And finally we have the Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce, I used this on a large amount of meatballs and it gave them a nice sweet (but not overly sweet) flavor. I used about 1/4th or 1/5th on the mini meatballs, how much you use will depend on how many you make.

• Grill Mates® Spiced Brandy & Herb Marinade We used this on some chicken wings and it tasted fantastic! 4.5/5
  
• Grill Mates® Slow and Low Memphis Pit BBQ Rub
  We used this rub on a rack of ribs, which gave it a really nice home style BBQ flavor! Tasted like what we'd eat at a restaurant such as Sonny's or Woody's. 4/5
  
• Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend We used this seasoning on the steaks and hamburgers, everyone enjoyed it and it tasted just like, or even better than a steakhouse would make it! 5/5
  
• Grill Mates® Molasses Bacon Seasoning Blend
  We used this on the pork, and even on popcorn! The bacon flavor isn't too strong but you'll need to be a little careful with how much you use as it tends to clump up and fall off when cooking. With the popcorn, putting some of this in the pan with the oil really brings out the flavor and makes all the popcorn taste lightly like bacon. 4/5
  
• Grill Mates® Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce
  Used on meatballs, really made what could've been bland meatballs really stand out. We put more sauce than what is shown in the picture, but how much you use will depend on how saucy you want it. Made them taste sweet, but thankfully not too sweet. 4/5
