Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with your Favorite cookout classics

Summertime is just the best; the days are longer and the bright sunshine is sure to boost your mood. This summer is even more special since we will be celebrating America’s 250th Birthday. There’s never been a better time to fire up the grill and make some Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs and of course you just have to have America’s Classic cheeseburger on the menu. This combo wouldn’t be complete without condiments like Heinz Ketchup, Mustard and Kraft Real Mayo. Top off those burgers with some Kraft Singles and Claussen Kosher Dill Sandwich Slices and everyone is sure to be a happy camper.

Feel free to decorate your space with festive decor. You can display flags, a festive tablecloth, centerpieces or colored utensils as a simple way to brighten up your table.

It doesn’t matter if you prefer gas or charcoal; go ahead and fire up the grill! We’d love to know what flavor combinations you come up with. All your favorite condiments and ingredients for side dishes, desserts and drinks can be picked up at your local Commissary.
