Join the Fun with McCormick Grillerhood Summer Grill MatesWant to join the cool grilling crowd this summer? Then, youneed to hook up with the McCormick Grilllerhood.Yes. You might not be on my block, but we all break bad no matter where we fireup our grills. So, let’s make it official. High five (and don’t forget thegrill glove).

I’ve been using McCormick seasoning for years. Really, whohasn’t? Now, they are out of the gate with Grill Mates. They must be mindreaders. Their products have always been great for grilling if not designedwith that in mind. You would not be able to count the number of steaks that havecome off my grills with McCormick’s lemon pepper. Now, McCormick has productsjust with all the grilling crowd in mind, so that, of course, caught my eyedown at the local grocery store.
I caught McCormick’s eye too, and they contacted me aboutbeing a member of the Grillerhood. I’ll chalk that up to all my fans andreaders. Thanks for putting me up high on Goggle with all the visits andcomments. In any case, I’m an official griller with McCormick this summer andget a stipend and the apron, chef hat, and glove along with some samples (thatwill be in a giveaway coming up soon – so look for that and win some greatsummer grilling gear and seasoning).

First, go check out all the great grilling products theyhave at McCormick. Yes. They came out of the gate with all cylinders firing. You’re sure to findsomething here that you’ll love.
Then, you can join in the fun at Facebook where McCormickhas a Grill Mates FB page that is already hopping. You can sign up for the Grillerhood and even compete to be the mayor of the hoodwith a barbecue trip to New York City for the winner. You know that would be ablast, and I’d love to be in on that. I’ll be waiting to hear all the detailsfrom the mayor – when he or she is named.
The name of the gameis fun and sharing, so what are you waiting for?
OK. I’ll share a tip here. You don’t have to make burgersjust for the bun. You can use a muffin pan (either a dedicated pan that youdon’t mind getting smoked up or the throwaway kind) and make what I’ll callmeatballs or mini meatloaves. If you can’t have bread or are cutting thecalories or can’t have gluten, then these may be just what you want to toss onyour grill. We love them, and this crowd can eat anything (not toxic).
Grilled Grill Mates MiniMeatloaf Recipe

• 1 pound lean ground beef (since you’re using a pan and don’t want the meat real greasy)
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon McCormick Grill Mates Molasses Bacon seasoning
• A few splashes of Worcestershire sauce (around ½ teaspoon)
• Ketchup or Barbecue Sauce (your favorite type - just enough to slather a bit on top of each McCormick's meatballs)

Join the Grillerhood Outside the Bun with Grill Mates Meatloaf on The Grill 
Directions: Just mix all of the ingredients together. It’sbetter to do it by hand, so the meat does not get packed too tightly. Divideinto 6 equal sized balls for a regular sized muffin pan or 12 for the minis.Slather a little ketchup or barbecue sauce on top of each meatball. Place in grill on low medium meat for around 40 minutes for large meatloaves and20 minutes for the minis. Grill temperatures vary, so do check on the time.
