Fall Tiered Tray Idea’s.

~ quirkymoms486 ~ 16 Comments

I love tiered trays.

In my opinion they are one of the greatest things to come out for decorating.

There are so many different things you can utilize them for and I just love it!

September is upon us and it’s finally that time of year where I just get “the look” from my husband when I start to bring my seasonal decor out.

So I am showing you two Fall tiered tray’s I have put together because at least I can tell him “It’s for the blog.”

I love using traditional Fall colors, all the oranges and burgundy’s I think are so beautiful.

Tiered tray

My tiered tray is new this year and I am obsessed. I used to have a 3 tiered one but I love the look of this double!

Adding a bed of leaves to the bottom is such a nice filler especially when you have a lot of space to cover.

Most of my filler pieces are from Hobby Lobby, they usually have 40% off their holiday decor.

The back is not as full but like I said adding leaves really helps make it look that way!

I also made a small lazy Susan type tray for next to my coffee pot. I kept it a lot more simple but it still gives that cozy Fall feel.

The lazy Susan and small coffee blocks are from Target dollar spot last year.

Adding warm LED lights to any of these also gives such a soft glow and feel, I usually do that as well!

I hope these tiered trays gave you some inspiration for your own home this Fall!

Big Mac Slider’s.

Oh my goodness, I have found theeee best football season dish to make!

If I didn’t love sliders already because Hawaiian rolls are life, I love them even more after making this recipe.

BIG MAC SLIDER’S!

Yes, I said it. Big Mac sliders and they are absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to make this for all the big football games we watch as the Fall season is upon us.

Let’s talk ingredients

Ingredients:

• 3/4 lb ground beef

• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped and divided

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 6 slices American or sharp cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce , shredded

• 1/4 cup pickles , sliced

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• Hawaiian rolls

You could also add sesame seeds to the top to make it a true Big Mac type slider but this particular day I did not have any on hand.

The true star of this show though is the sauce. Definitely chefs kiss. It did not make it soggy at all either which was a relief.

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons relish

• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Now let’s assemble.

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.

• In a large pan on medium-heat, add the ground beef, half of the diced onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

• Cut the rolls in half lengthwise.

• In a bowl, combine the mayo, relish, mustard, ketchup, onion powder and garlic powder and mix. Spread half of the sauce on the bottom layer of the rolls.

• Top with the cooked beef, sliced cheese, lettuce, and pickles. Drizzle the remaining sauce on top and place the top half of bread rolls on the sliders.

• Brush the melted butter on top of the sliders.

• Bake the sliders for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

• Cut the sliders into 12 individual slices.

Seriously I can’t wait to make these again! They were delicious and will definitely be a party favorite.

Let me know if you’ve tried these! And if you do try this recipe share with me how it turned out 🙂
