The biggest cooking mistake I've ever made was when I used beef broth for a turkey one year when all the stores were already closed up. The turkey gravy didn't taste good at all.

When I first started cooking, I was making a roast chicken in a glass Pyrex dish. It was looking pretty dry, so I added some water. You can probably guess what happened next...The Pyrex dish pretty much exploded in the oven. The next day I spent close to four hours cleaning glass out of the oven. I learned a lesson that day. I always have water heating now when I use a Pyrex baking dish, just in case I need to add any.

My first attempt at making a pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin was a disaster. I chopped the pumpkin and cooked it just right. Then I blended it. Unfortunately when I went to dump it into the pie shells we noticed that there were chunks of pumpkin floating on top. I didn't realize I should have used a "boat motor" blender to blend it as the regular blender I had obviously could not handle the job.

That for me would be broiling taco shells..It set my oven on fire and we had to buy a new stove!

I once forgot I was even cooking and left the stove unintended only to notice it when the house was filled with smoke.

I was in charge of making peanut butter rolls and chocolate peppermint candy for a very large party. I had no recipe for the mint candy. I always made it by tasting it. this was such a large amount of candy so I kept adding more and more peppermint extract. I few days later I was told to only bring peanut butter rolls the next time. Although all of the chocolate peppermint candy was delicious while eating it, afterwards people got sick. Peppermint in a large enough amount makes a great laxative!

When I was a kid I was helping my mother make dinner. We made a large pan of lasagna in a glass dish. She took it out of the oven and sat it on a burner while we prepared a vegetable. Suddenly there was an incredible "BANG" with glass and lasagna shooting across the kitchen. The glass dish had exploded when she turned the wrong burner on high.

I made my favorite Pecan Pie this year and left out the butter. Everyone was gracious and I'm glad I made a number of other desserts. Guess just too much going on.

I have made mistakes through the years. I remember mixing up Teaspoon Tablespoon when making a dish and using more salt that I should have.

I have made a few cooking mistakes but one that really stands out is from years ago when I was learning to bake cakes. I managed to get my measuring bowls and ingredients mixed up somehow, and instead of adding sugar to the batter, I added salt. Yikes!

When I was learning to cook as a child I didn't know there was a difference between baking soda and baking powder. I learned that lesson after making a batch of inedible cookies.

The biggest cooking mistake I've ever made was probably when I accidentally melted my microwave rice cooker in my microwave. The whole apartment filled with smoke and plastic fumes, and I had to buy a new microwave too. Thanks for offering this nice contest!

Biggest cooking mistake? Um, besides choosing the wrong recipe for the occasion, not having the main ingredient that was called for, and falling asleep while waiting for food to cook thus letting it burn, I can't think of any.

The biggest cooking disaster was not understanding what a clove of garlic was. Who ever said there is no such thing as too much garlic was sadly mistaken. )

I was trying to cut an onion in my hand instead of getting a cutting board. Not a good move. I ended up getting 7 stitches. That was a very bad cooking mistake.

These recipes are great! They are perfect for easy weeknight meals or make-ahead meals! They are economical too because I can vary the amount of ground beef I use or even use a mixture of beef and pork. I often buy ground beef in bulk or in a family pack so it goes a long way! These recipes are great for adding extra veggies into my family's meals too!

Hi, Don! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Slow cooker cooking can make your life really easy! You hardly even need a recipe for classic chili, and the ingredients are pretty affordable. Brown up some ground beef or turkey with onion, garlic, chili powder, and other seasonings you like. Put all that in the crockpot with a couple cans of beans and diced or stewed tomatoes. Cook it all day on low, and enjoy your chili for dinner! You can also sneak in some veggies like carrots, mushrooms, or green beans. Do you like your chili plain or over rice?
