I’ve been doing my best to cook homemade, healthy meals, while at the same time, trying to save as much money as possible on groceries.  Part of the goal to save money means that we need to eat our leftovers rather than let them go to waste.  The other day, I had some leftover meatloaf and wanted to make it into something new.  So, I hopped online and searched for “leftover meatloaf recipe ideas.”

There were several ideas that talked about crumbling the meatloaf up, mixing it with pasta and adding a cheese or marinara sauce.  Sounds good, right?  I boiled some macaroni, made a cheese sauce, crumbled my meatloaf, and mixed it all together.  It was horrible!  The color and consistency reminded me of dog food and it didn’t taste much better.  My husband and I ate as much as we could stomach, but ended up throwing most of it away.  My cheesy-meatloaf-macaroni was by far the worst thing I’ve ever made!

What’s the worst cooking mishap you’ve had?  Let’s share, lighten up, and laugh about our mistakes.
