Imagine for a moment, you are sitting outside on a warm day, the kids are playing, and there’s the aroma of smoky grilled food filling the air. Doesn’t it sound amazing?
One of our favorite pasttimes in the warmer months is firing up the grill and having a picnic on our deck with the family. We keep the menu simple so we can spend more time as a family and less time prepping and cleaning dishes.
Even with the uncertainty of today’s health crisis, we can still enjoy simple recipes and beautiful weather outdoors. And we are feeling the need, even more, to connect as a family and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Recently, we fired up the grill and my husband, the grill master, made the BEST grilled hamburgers. I’m a believer that a good hamburger only requires a few ingredients. You only need a great seasoning blend and quality beef!
With McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning, you can’t go wrong. It’s the perfect blend of herbs and spices that mix with ground beef to make unique and flavorful burgers for your menu. Shake on the savory blend of coarsely ground peppers, toasted onion, and garlic for bolder, juicier burgers every time.

The McCormick Grill Mates Seasonings are easily found in the spices aisle at Walmart. They are available through Walmart Grocery pickup for convenience: https://bit.ly/WalmartGrillMates. McCormick Grill Mates Seasonings contain bold and exciting flavors! A few of the other McCormick Grill Mates Seasonings we keep in our pantry are the Montreal Steak Seasoning, Roasted Garlic and Herb Shaker, and the Brown Sugar and Bourbon Seasoning. They are a great addition to your grilling recipes!

HOW TO MAKE A GREAT CHEESEBURGER.
This burger recipe also makes awesome cheeseburgers! We add a slice of cheese to the top of each beef patty about a minute before they are ready to come off the grill. This will give the cheese enough time to melt. I recommend sliced provolone or American cheese…our favorites!
