The messiest food that makes my oven less than fun to clean are mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, granola, and marshmallows. :)
I never make anything messy!… But sometimes I put too much batter in my cupcake pan and it overflows.
The better question is what don’t I make that doesn’t make a huge mess!!!
Has to be monkey bread.. my kitchen is a disaster after I make that!
Cherry pie always makes a mess in my oven, but it’s worth it.
I seem to make a mess no matter what I make. But when I make lasagna, it gets pretty messy since I make a homemade sauce first on top of constructing and cooking all the other ingredients. Worth every bit though.
Lasagna is a family fav that always makes a mess in my oven ( and on my flour and counters- lol!)
My favorite messy recipe would have to be cherry pie! Wish I had some now!
Family mini pizzas! Soo messy but, the kids love it!
My fovorite recipe that I always end up with a massive mess of bowls and utensils with is Cinnabon Cheesecake: http://www.food.com/recipe/cinnabon-cheesecake-like-tgi-fridays-294698
As far as messes in the oven (though mine broke a week ago) ? Well, nothing I’ve made has done so but pretty much anything my boyfriend makes is a mess. He once spilled a pasta meal similar to this one while getting it out of the oven. Yes, the entire dish of it.
My favorite recipe that messes up my oven every time would be Lasagna.
My messiest meals tend to be anything Italian, cheesy lasagna or cheesy chicken alfredo, or homemade pizzas.

My favorite recipe is strawberry lemonade cupcakes. They are delicious and take forever to make….Resulting in every baking tool I own used, and my kitchen a disaster.

Sugar Cookies…flour everywhere. Bags of frosting in multiple colors and sprinkles rolling onto the floor.
My messiest dish is probably my homemade chicken pot pie…I bake it in my cast iron pan and it always comes out perfectly. I know it’s done when it bubbles and spits. ;) Broiling bacon is the messiest thing I do to my oven, though.
When we make pizza because I love to put them right on the rack as well. I have put foil on the rack below just to try and catch the mess.
Every Christmas Eve I prep Sticky Buns for Christmas. I always put too many rolls in my pan and when it rises it makes a mess!!!!
Here is one of my favorite messy recipes. The mess comes when you stir the pops in the oven!
Caramel Corn Pops
1 (18 oz.) bag Corn Curls (pops) or Kettle Pops (look in the Potato Chip/Popcorn section of your store)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 square butter (1/4 cup)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup of light corn syrup
1 Tbsp. water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Bring butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and water to a medium boil. Stir continuously. Boil for 1 to 1 ½ minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda, coating will puff up. Pour over corn pops or kettle pops; toss. Spread out in a large cookie sheet.
Bake in 200 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and pour caramel pops onto waxed paper to cool.
Break into pieces and enjoy!
Baking bread or pizza on the rack is usually what gets my oven messy!
Okay, I think made the same mistake as several others…thought I had to hit Add Comment to get to the comment entry spot. Didn’t realize this fancy aqua spot was the place. Favorite messy….hard choice…Always messy is homemade pizzas, and homemade cherry pie is the ooziest…one time I had someone chatting in my kitchen calmly add at the end of the sentence, “and your stove is on fire.” (since I have electric, I thought he was kidding and just laughed, til he added, “no seriously!” it was full flames from an overflowing pie!)
Baking Pecan Pie which is a favorite of my husband always manages to make a mess of my oven. No matter what I do it always leaks into the bottom of my oven!!

I would say my mess comes from rhubarb crisp or monkey break.
Somehow our homemade pizza does the trick!

Top with cheese; cover for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Peach Cobbler! I really need to get a larger pan for when I cook that. I always seem to fill it too full of peachy goodness. :)
Enchiladas
I have my own take on chicken casserole with grilled chicken, penne pasta zucchini, yellow squash, peas, corn, peppers, onions and garlic mixed with Alfredo sauce and smothered in cheese! Left overs are rare!
Unfortunately,my husband would say that all of my recipes are messy. I’ve been known to make some yummy things…but I am a whirlwind in the kitchen!
I would have to say my favorite messy recipe is chocolate cobbler. I’ve had many spill over into my oven and make a mess, but boy is it delicious and worth it!
I love cooking homemade pizza in the oven but it always drips! What a mess
My favorite messy recipe is my roasted bell pepper veggie pizza!! This not only messes up the oven, countertops, and pans, but involves blending, peeling, spreading… And that’s just the bell pepper sauce!! Let alone the rest of the pizza!! But let’s be honest, everything I do in the kitchen ends up looking like a natural disaster hit who who am I kidding!!!
Would probably have to be homeade chicken pot pies…runs over every time! This oven would be great!
I know it’s not supposed to be messy, but I always overflow my Pineapple Upside-down cakes.
my favorite messy recipe is my cherry cobbler coffee cake! finally I’ve learned to put a cookie sheet at bottom of oven!!
Most recently it was lasagna, vut generally it’s strawnerry-ruhbarb pie
homemade cookies and pizzas always seem to make the biggest mess!
My favorite messy meal is when we allow our son to join in on making homemade pizza! He has such a great time but with all of his creative toppings it never fails to leave a giant crusty mess on the bottom of the oven!
So many messy dishes to choose from, but since I only get to pick one … it has to be my cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing! Always a big hit, and lots of icing to lick off your lips and fingers!
My messiest recipe would also be lasagne, Oh and any pie that spills over. That baked on sugar mess that you keep smelling everytime you use the oven until it get cleans off.
Strawberry pie or manicotti! Both of which are my favorites!
my home made pizza…always dripping the cheese onto the oven floor!
It’s a tie between rhubarb custard pie (sugary stickiness) and morroccan roast chicken! Delicious, but very messy to cook. Worth it though! Sure wish I had a cool oven like the LG! Thanks for the chance to have one. :)
Whenever I make empanadas..the kitchen is done for!
Doesn’t mess up the oven, but does destroy a clean cooktop: My grandmother’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken and skin-on buttermilk mashed potatoes. Cleaning up a grease spattered cooktop is worth every second of trouble when you eat that deliciousness for dinner!
Oooey gooey cinnamon rolls!
Pecan pie always seems to bubble over in my oven. But seriously don’t ever try to bake a giant sugar cookie if you don’t know what you’re doing. The remnants are still lurking in my oven.
Stuffed Shells! There is always entirely too much cheese, but it is delish! :) I was just looking at these ovens the other day in the store, day dreaming :)
My super layered extra cheese, Italian sausage and ground beef lasagna- my boys love it- but it always makes a huge mess! My husbands work of art is always his mountain man casserole- but at least my husband loves to cook!
I always forget to put a cookie sheet under my pies and they always drip!
The pasta looks great by the way!!!
What could be more messy (and delicious) than a classic spaghetti and meatballs!
My favorite messy oven recipe is my lasagna. I layer it up too high and add way too much cheese, but it is so yummy.
My favorite messy recipe has to be anything with tomato sauce – lasagna, pizza, etc…But then again, I really don’t mind how messy my oven gets as long as the food is delish!
I always seem to overfill my caramel Dutch apple pie with caramel apple goodness which always seems to make a mess.
Well…should I admit this? Our last frozen pizza went horribly wrong. As in, the entire thing fell through the grates. I would die for this oven!
I would have to say Lasagna
Yum! I make a cream cheese chicken lasagna that almost always bubbles out of the pan, but it is just sooo good I have to keep making it. An easy clean oven would sure be nice!
Pizza – always seem to get cheese all over!
My favorite messy recipe is BBQ Baby Back Ribs!!!! Yummy! Lots of sticky fingers with this meal.
Cooking cheesecake always ends up making a grease puddle in the bottom of my oven (which equals lots of smoke!).
My favorite messy recipe is BBQ Baby Back Ribs and pecan pie!!!
Oops!
I prefer making bacon in the oven but there is a lot of grease splatter.
I make a recipe that is a pasta dish tossed with mini turkey meatballs, fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella – and the kitchen always looks like a disaster area by the time I’m done. But it’s SO worth it!
I love homemade pie (any flavor!), but it definitely can cause a mess in the oven.
Pizzas, pies and cheesecake are the things that make my oven messiest, but I love them! Oh, and bacon splatter in the oven!
Saffron chicken. Good luck getting that out if you spill.
Turkey Chili Dogs! Mmm!
I love making spaghetti bake! It is so delicious! Lots of cheese makes it the best!
Worlds best lasagna! I always make a double batch as it’s a household favorite. Not only does it get my oven messy but my stovetop too!
I try to avoid messy food since it’s such a pain to clean the oven but my favorites are a toss up between apple pie and homemade pizza :) this oven would be perfect for me!
The most recent thing to mess up my oven was puffy German pancakes! Hope I win!!
Our family’s favorite messy recipe is roast chicken. Cleaning up the grease splatters is totally worth it!
My favorite recipe is homemade Mac and cheese with chicken yummy comfort food!!
Hmmm…I’m not really one to pay close attention to how messy a meal makes my oven (since my eyes are on the food!), but it seems like something is always falling off of our homemade pizzas and smoldering at the bottom of the oven.
Homemade pizzas (the toppings or the cornmeal we use on the bottom so it doesn’t stick to the pizza stone) OR anything in a springform pan! (Gorgeous photos BTW!!)
Creamy chicken tamale pie always makes a mess in my oven…the enchilada sauce and practically overflowing chicken mixture makes a mess every time!! I always add a pan under my cast iron skillet that I bake it in and it makes clean up much easier! :)
Hot fudge brownie cake, is so messy but is so delicious that I try dont think about the clean up…
My oven is a little off balance so quiche is what gets messy!
My favorite messy recipe is Lasagna! It never fails to get all gooey and bubbly… and if I forget to put a sheet pan under it, there’s always a mess in my oven!
Apple & Blueberry crisp…. or maybe Orange Sticky Rolls…. both of them are amazing but not so much fun to clean up. This oven would make them even better I am sure :)
Sorry , I didn’t know what was going on with your comment form. I LOVE sloppy joes!
I also am having a hard time with your comment section. But I wanted to add that our yummy homemade pizza is the messiest in the oven…but oh so worth it!
My husband likes to bake pizzas right on the rack to get the bottom crust crispier, but it inevitably drips on the bottom of the oven. Great giveaway!
My favorite messy recipe is a multicolored cake!
Didn’t mean to hit enter. Woops. Our favorite messy meal is Cavatini. Past, yummy sauce, pepperoni, roasted peppers, and lots of gooey cheese. My husband and boys love it!
homemade cinnamon rolls. the insides spill over the edge!
Homemade pizza is definitely my family’s favorite messy recipe. The whole family gets to make their own creation, which ends up in a huge cleanup job!
I would have to say pizza… all the crumbs fall right to the bottom and burn up.
It would be a toss up between lasagna and pecan pie.
Ribs and chicken wings. Messy and delicious, sort of like life. :)
My favorite messy recipe is hands down meatloaf! Mmm
Our homemade pizzas are always runneth over!
My favorite, messy recipe is Crawfish Fettuccine.
I always make a huge mess when baking double crusted pies! Any kind – doesn’t matter! They always overflow and leave a gooey mess on the bottom of my oven… and set the smoke detectors going every time I bake for weeks after! Unless hubby reminds me, I almost always forget to put a baking sheet under the pie pans.
My favorite messy recipe is Chicken Enchilada Pie! Or maybe bacon drizzled in maple syrup then put under the broiler! Toss up!
Chili cornbread casserole…or anything because i choose a dish thats too small!
Anything fried, like fried chicken.. it just gets grease everywhere but so worth it
enchilladas
I lied! Homemade Calzones are NOT the messiest. I was reading some of the other responses and some one said Monkey Bread which reminded me of my Cinnamon and Sugar Pull Apart Bread. So messy and kinda difficult, but definitely worth the trouble and the mess!
Triple cherry pie! MMMM it is sooooo good!
This recipe looks absolutely yummy! My favorite messy recipe would have to be chicken potpie (PA Dutch-style) or lasagne. I make everything from scratch. My kitchen is always a disaster afterwards, but my family very happy!
Fruit cobblers are always messy but worth it at our house!
my lasagna w/ homemade sauce or my homemade pepperoni rolls! the LG oven is beautiful!!
My Fav is Sloppy Joes!
I can manage to make a mess in my oven no matter hat I’m cooking. But I think Mexican Lasagna is my messiest dinner!
Lasagna or fresh fruit pies!
Definitely homemade pizza!
My messy recipe is quiche! I always lose some egg over the top!
Pizza. Saucy cheese runs over or cornmeal falls through the pan. Bit it’s good. I’ve been dreaming of a double oven since we moved in.
The better question in my house would be what doesn’t make a mess in my oven. I love to cook and so do my three kids so at least once a day something is in the bottom of my oven. Yesterday it was a new cupcake recipe that my 8 year old filled to full and the over flow began. I will continue to clean my oven for as long as my children love cooking!
Bacon – not really a recipe or a meal (well, at least not for most people), but it sure does get splattery. Homemade sloppy joes seem pretty messy as well.
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite messy recipe is chicken enchiladas, hands down. Everyone loves them. :)
French bread pizza…stuff is always falling off :)
Lasagna, chicken pot pie and bacon. I fill my pans to full!! Wonderful giveaway!

I’m an idiot- I did that wrong…my favorite messy recipe is homemade hand breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches- very messy but very worth it
Pizza for sure! How can you not put too much on a pizza?
I love making Scandinavian Cinnamon Rolls from a family recipe!So many elements, so messy, but to die for!
My blackberry pie always makes a mess. Also, once I made a bacon wrapped meatloaf and the oven caught on fire! Yikes!
Oh dear, that’s embarrassing! Anyway, every time I make candied popcorn I make a big mess in the oven. Pieces of the popcorn fall to the bottom and just burn the entire rest of the baking time. Such a mess!!
Berry Pie, yum!
Big, soft, nummy cinnamon rolls:)
My messiest dish is spaghetti with chili I tend to use three different pots and have a very big mess to clean up after but worth it at the end.
Lasagna. It’s my all time fav!
I bake my bacon. It splatters grease in the oven but not one me or my kids who turn into hovering wolves when they smell it!
oops, meant to say lasagna!
Baked pastas always make a mess
barbeque ribs and lemon pepper wings makes it messy in the oven
Calzones – I always fill them too full and have stuff leaking out all over the oven.
My favorite recipe is lemon salmon on top of a bed of whole wheat angel hair pasta <3<3
Enchiladas are usually quite messy to make, but always delicious to eat.
My great grandmother was from Tennessee and her chicken and dumplings was and still is a family favorite ! We make it and our favorite apple pie every year as a memorial to her ! It makes a huge mess but its sooo worth it!
I always make the creamiest, messiest scalloped potatoes!!! Definitely have to clean the oven after baking them :)
I don’t make a lot of stuff that messes up because I hate cleaning it! But it seems like when ever I make lasagna I always over do it with the filling and sauce (maybe thats why it’s so good!) and stuff always ends up at the bottom of my oven.
I just seem to have a knack for making messes in my oven, even when recipes aren’t messy! It’s usually the apple pies that completely do me in, though! I actually accidentally set my oven on fire with an overflowed pie one time!
Every time we make homemade Hawaiian BBQ pizza, it always makes a big mess.
I tend to not make much of a mess, especially inside the oven, my husband on the other hand is a different story. He doesn’t use the oven often but pretty much every time he does there’s some sort of overflow of juices or sauce or whatever it is he’s cooking! Lol
I guess I didn’t list anything specific so I’ll say Thanksgiving turkey seems to make the biggest mess!
Our favorite messy recipe is called Yucatan chicken. Essentially, it’s like a taco salad that you eat with your fingers!
Ahhh I would DIE if I won this oven!! We are in desperate need of one!! My favorite messy recipe is loaded sweet potatoes … mmmm!!!!
Pies, hands down…I’m really bad about putting a pan underneath and they always bubble all over the place! So, worth it though!
Baked sweet potatoes.
My oven Fried Chicken Thighs Recipe is one the messiest and most acclaimed meals that come out of my oven. There is generally the remaining smell of cooked chicken thigh crust when the oven comes on for the next meal. You have got to love leftovers;)
Pecan Pie. I’ve tried tin foil, pans, etc underneath but it never sets as pretty as when two pies are the only thing to share that space. If you hear my smoke alarm on 4th of July, or anytime from Halloween to New Years {don’t judge}, don’t be alarmed. Just grab some whipping cream and a fork.
I don’t usually have anything spill over in the oven but lasagna is pretty messy to make.
Homemade Baked Macaroni & Cheese. It likes to bubble up and boil over.
My favorite recipe that always messes up my oven is apple tart. All the yummy syrupy goodness gets all over the oven. But it’s worth it :-)
My all time favorite but horrible messy recipe is my Scotch Marshmallow Caramel Kissed Yams., it’s extremely yummy but very messy on stove.
cinnamon rolls! always crave them whenI am pregnant (and when I’m not)
lasagna!
Peach cobbler is my favorite to bake, it never fails that sticky juice bubbles over every time. I always forget about the spill until the next time I bake and the whole house fills with smoke. At this point everything is so baked on it will never come out completely. I would love to win a new LG Oven!
oh that sounds good. my fave messy oven meal is homemade mac & cheese!
Too busy cooking and waiting in eager anticipation of the delectable dishes soon to be served and consumed to notice which are the messiest, but i would have to say probably the apple pies and cheesy potatoes. oh…but then there are the oat flour currant muffins, too…
Meatballs. The grease always splats every where and my oven smokes and stinks for days!
lasagna!
Sorry I hit enter too soon! :/ Homemade pizza always makes a mess of our oven–even when we use the pizza stone! But I find that canning fruit (peach butter, strawberry jam, etc.) always makes the most kitchen mess. We end up with stickiness EVERYWHERE! :) Might be all the little helpers too.
LOVE green Enchiladas but always such a chore to clean up after dinner :( not fun!
My moms apple pie does it every time, but it’s too good not to make :)
Cobbler always makes a mess in my oven, but it is so yummy!
It seems like whenever I make pizza, the sauce always spills over into my oven! It’s delicious, but messy!
Lasagna. Every time.
favorite messy recipe is homemade mac and cheese! learned the recipe from my mom and actually would love to win this oven for her! we don’t need a new one and she has always wanted a double oven!
Home made Pizza!
My lasagna!
The recipe that is messy but totally worth it is oven baked pancakes.
My favorite messy recipe is Pasta Carbonara! Any recipe that combines eggs and bacon with pasta and garlic is a hit at our house! I would LOVE to have a new LG Oven for making this!
Meatloaf…my family’s favorite! Sure is a HUGE mess, though!
Our favorite is our berry Dutch oven cobbler!!
Lasagna casserole!
I caught the oven on fire with au gratin potatoes last Christmas. I forgot to put a baking sheet beneath and the cream overflowed. To make matters worse, the self-cleaning cycle sets off every alarm in the house. I have to wait for a snow day to clean it and even then we have to open windows and doors or risk ear-splitting alarms. My oven was a mess, but the potatoes were to die for! :)
The biggest mess always comes when I make almond, peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies. But it’s always worth the mess.
My family and I L-O-V-E a slow cooker pulled pork recipe that my mom picked up about years ago. It is full of sauce and spice and golden, sweet onions. The baby gets stripped down to her diaper because she can’t stay clean!
Headed to Lake Powell for our annual vacation, and the one thing my girls have asked for is pulled pork! Willing to share your recipe? THANKS!
When I make baked corn it sometimes falls on the bottom of the oven. But its so good! :)
Ham & cheese rolls. The cheese always makes a gooey mess!
BBQ wings ..
my chili dog nachos!
German Pancakes!!
My favorite thing to make that gets really messy is an apple pie with homemade crust (which of course I have to pick at and eat the crumbly parts that fall off when it’s out of the oven). My kitchen looks like a disaster after making one though!
A big stuffed turkey
Sweet potatoes. I always remember to cook them on a foil lined baking sheet, but my husband doesn’t. What a smelly mess!
My fav is Pizza Pasta Pie…Yummy!
I hit the wrong button, oops and sorry. Cinnamon pinwheels are my messiest recipe, melting butter and running brown sugar. But they are quite tasty.
I make a mean low carb pizza in the oven. They are individual, and therefore exactly what everyone wants. They are covered with melted cheese and the homemade sauce bubbles out the top.
I’m a daycare mom so somehow every recipe ends up messy when you’re making lunch for 9 toddlers and preschoolers everyday ! Not to mention my own family of five. My 19 year old oven has made thousands of nuggets and baked many birthday cupcakes but ohhh how my family and I would love a new one!! A new clean oven to bake up a couple thousand new memories!!!! Please, please, please!!
Thanks!-The Covels and kids
Pizza is definitely our messiest oven recipe. We love making homemade pizzas and don’t use a pan since we like a nice crispy crust. And we LOVE CHEESE, so the cheesier the pizza {the better} the messier my oven gets when it melts and drops to the bottom of the oven. But it’s so worth it!
Definitely mini monkey bread… So evil delicious… But brown sugar on the bottom of the oven not so easy to clean up :)
Barbecue chicken wings :)
Peach pie :)
I think homemade pizza is for sure one of the messiest meals in the oven, but so are some pies for dessert.
Cinnamon Rolls
We love making fried plantains and taco salad. Or veggie burgers with homemade French fries s
Enchiladas or maybe stuffed shells. Both are yummy!
Apple Pie!
That is an awesome oven that wants to come live with me. My favorite messy recipe is my grandmas bibingka recipe. Its a Filipino dessert made from rice flour, butter, sugar and milk baked in a pan lined with banana leaves. It overflows every time but the clean up is well worth it.
I love messy food! Maybe it’s because I miss childhood lunches, but I love sloppy joes.
My favorite messy dish is apple pie no matter what I do it always bubbles over and messes up the oven.
Anything with the word pie-I make messy :)
My favorite messy recipe is prime rib! It splatters all over the oven, but it is so worth it!
making spaghetti sauce and then baking the casserole in the oven o my goodness this is quite messy ive learned through the yrs don’t pile on leave a little room in the casserole pan
A blackberry gallete …. berry-liciousness tends to bubble over!
My favorite messy recipe is my husband’s ‘Mexican Lasanga.’ He always overfills my casserole dish, so it overflow in the oven. It takes me a whole day to clean up the entirety f this cheesy, gooey mess!
I always make a mess when I make chili. :) I do two pots so we have one veggie and one meat.
Pecan pie, almost every time. Haven’t been able to bake since last fall when I moved in with my fiance. Only his stove top is working. I offered to trade getting an engagement ring for an oven… I’ve learned to do a lot of new things with a crockpot.
Butter baked baked potatoes (my smoke alarm usually know when these are in the oven!), the butter drips on the bottom and creates a mess. Definitely worth it though!
My favorite messy meal is monkey bread! My husband asks for it literally every Friday and Saturday he asks if we’re making it that morning!
lets see, meatloaf when I don’t have a small pan, afghani murgh, paella, cinnamon rolls, etc. etc. etc.
2 of my favorite recipes to make are my family’s spring roll recipe and puppy chow!
My husband’s lasagna. Messy and delicious.
pies!
any kind of fruit pie I run over
My messiest or juciest is my EGGPLANT PARM-probably because i bread and fry the the eggplant and i make at least 3 layers. The sauce and oil always become a wave over the top-but it is soooo delicious and worth the mess.
Lasagna is definitely my messiest recipe!
I had a monkey break recipe that would bubble all over, spill onto the bottom of the oven and just make a huge carmalized mess that was impossible to get off. Monkey bread was awesome but not worth the mess so i threw away the recipe.
My fruit pies always boil over.
Bacon! The new craze in perfect bacon is to put it on a sheet pan and throw it in the oven. You end up with perfectly crisp and evenly cooked bacon, but also a shallow pan full of grease! I once spilled nearly the entire contents of the grease in my oven when I bumped it getting it out of the oven. Even days after a thorough cleaning, the oven smoked while in use.
Apple pie….it always seems to bubble over…
Definitely any kind of pie!
We love pizza with tons of cheese bubbling over the sides!
We actually have a similar recipe that is a go to in the summer since it can be served hot or cold. We use rigatoni, fresh basil, cubed mozzarella, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. It is delicious and the leftovers are just as yummy cold as the meal was hot! As for a mess- french toast casserole always bubbles over the side on me and the sugar burns so quickly on the oven bottom.
Cobbler! I always fill the pan too full!
Chicken pot pie! Oozes all over the oven!
Spanish delight. Chips, beans, cheese, hamburger, lettuce and enchilada sauce. YUM!!! But man is it a mess :-)
Take 2. Lasagna is also one of my messiest along with baked ziti. Pretty much anything with sauce and cheese. But my brother is the messiest cook I know! He can totally destroy a kitchen just making a sandwich!!!
My favorite messy thing to make that my family loves is good old fashioned lasagna!
Well, I’ve only used my oven in my new house a couple of times (turn away in shame) but I guess ham biscuits- there is a sauce with mustard, poppy seeds, etc. and swiss cheese that overflows and makes a mess!
I love to make veggie lasagna
Our favorite is Tatar Tot Casserole and Chocolate Cobbler. Always have a huge mess with these but they are SO good!! :)
Homemade pizza!! It’s the best and the messiest! (At least the way I make it!!!)
It seems I’m always making a mess when I cook, but my biggest oven mess was a Mac and cheese. This was not your normal Mac and cheese it was a clog your arteries type and it leaked all over my oven. The worst part was I used my self cleaning feature to help with the mess, but did not wipe up any of the mess first and my oven caught on fire. Huge flames inside and black smoke coming out! Never made that Mac and cheese again!
That pasta looks delish! My favorite messy oven recipe is Caramel Corn. You have to toss it around every 15 minutes or so and it always ends up all over the oven :) It’s worth it though!
My messiest recipe is apple pie. I have to try the Caprese pasta recipe!
Giant chocolate chip cookie in a pizza pan!
My favorite messy recipe is a tie between homemade lasagna and homemade augratin potatoes- the chesse melts over everytime. Would love a chance to win the new lg oven. Thanks!
I don’t think I have ever managed to bake a cherry pie without it bubbling over and making a mess.
We just discovered a new sloppy joe recipe filled with tons of veggies (sweet potato puree, red pepper puree). It’s so sweet and delicious.
Sounds yummy. can you post the recipe?

My favorite messy recipe is pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. It never fails to spill over the pie plates and make a mess on the bottom of my oven.
Cake Pops! The last attempt had sprinkles all over my floor and cake all over the counters.
My favorite messy thing to make is chicken parm!
Ours is mini chicken pot pies. Love them!
Mine is gluten-free black forest cake. It’s messy and time consuming to make, but boy does it taste good.
The Dish I Make The Most Mess With Is Blackberry Cobbler!
I make a huge mess every time i try, Boeuf bourguignon but it tastes amazing!
Hmmm… Messy? ….When all the yummy cheese’s boil over my homemade mac n’ cheese…Then there are my homemade apple crisp’s, apple pie’s and cherry pie’s…Our homemade pizza’s?..Yes they are definitely MESSY… Including everything else that my 12yr old daughter helps me with baking…. But the recipe that makes the biggest mess is my Homemade Lasagna—> Fresh crushed and diced tomatoes,, added to that is ground beef,, ground (medium heat) pork sausage,, ground turkey,, pepperoni,, diced green peppers,, chopped onions ,,fresh minced garlic and fresh herbs and spices to make the sauce… At least three different cheeses whichever you prefer and lasagna noodles all thrown together to make a messy but yummy dish… Also I cant forget the fresh salad and homemade garlic bread to go with it…Ohh sooo good…. I may not have the recipe for it but all the ingredients are there for anyone to use,, when I cook mine it is always made for anywhere between 6-13 people so doing it by eye is always the best way to go for me….It doesn’t matter if I make to much because whatever is leftover we sit around and snack on before dinner is ready……
Homemade baked potato casserole with all of the fixings, so yummy but messy!!!
Lasagna for sure! It always seems to bubble over some how. Thanks for the giveaway!
My family’s favorite messy recipe is homemade caramel corn. We don’t cook it long enough for the caramel to get hard, we like it sticky and its yummy!
The messiest thing I cook would have to be homemade pizza…I overload the pizza and things are always falling off!!!
My husband makes an incredible lasagna but never remembers to put a pan under it. What are you gonna do?
Starts off with the homemade sauce and meatballs on the stove to make the lasagna in the oven. Then the dessert baked in the oven homemade blueberry pie, and the homemade zeppoles fried on top of the stove, and the homemade pizza on the pizza stone with the cornmeal to slide on the stone. These are the messiest things made in the oven and on top of the stove.
I love trying out new recipes, but every time my oven pays for it. I am a terrible cook and my oven shows it. I keep trying…
My favorite messy recipe is blueberry pie!
Homemade stout-crust pizza… those grape tomatoes keep rolling off, but if you cut ’em in half, they’re not quite the explosions of scalding deliciousness…
My favorite messy food is homemade banana muffins! They have a crumb topping that gets everywhere! Totally worth it!
overflowing cake
A birthday tradition for my sweetheart is homemade lasagna, homemade French bread and homemade carrot cake. Tradition started over 25 years ago and now even the kids pick this meal for their birthdays too. And wouldn’t it be sweet to have a double oven so the bread and lasagna come out at the same time. Yum!
Love Cheesy Meatball Bake. So good but so messy!
We have a Manicotti Casserole that we love, but it sometimes gets pretty messy at the end of the cook time when the cheese is melting. Thanks for the giveaway!
I left a comment the other day but don’t see it here. When does this giveaway end? who can enter? how will the winner be selected? can you only get a gas range? I don’t see any information about this contest
Hi Paige! The giveaway ends on June 15th. Winner will be selected by random.org. I will check with the sponsor to see if only a gas range is available to the winner.
My family loves when I make stuffed peppers but they’re kind of messy. Thanks for the chance to win! (I totally need a new oven.)
Lasagna is the messiest thing I put in my oven. Next in line would be fruit pies.
mmm cinnamon rolls
My coffee cake that always seems to bubble over!
Our favorite messy recipe would be homemade pizza. We make it on a pizza peel and slide it onto a baking stone. If everything works correctly… sometimes not all the toppings stay on during the transfer.
Lasagna always seems to make a mess of my oven!
Our favorite messy recipe is my husbands homemade BBQ chicken pizza. He refuses to use a pan and the cheese always bubbles over but it is soooo worth it. Second favorite thing is brown sugar bacon for breakfast. So yummy but splatters everywhere :)
Fruit pies always seem to boil over no matter how high I flute the edges, I need to stop filling them so full of all the goodness.
I love to bake & cook. Lasagna for me as it has tons of cheese, sauce, fresh mushrooms, assorted peppers & onions.
My messy recipe is apple pie. bubbles over, but sure is good.
I love tacos (with homemade filling)!
lasagna
My quiche, while really yummy is super messy. Some day maybe I’ll learn to not overfill the crust!
My lasagna makes a huge mess! I put way too much cheese and sauce on it!
My favorite messy recipe is Chicken Pot Pie which always boils over a bit and burns on the bottom of the oven. But it’s delicious and worth it!
Apple or pecan pie!
Defiantly fresh peach pie!!!! Yummy, bubbly, delicious, and messy ;)
Lasagna – so messy!!!
My favorite would have to be buttermilk pie.
Shoofly pie!
This looks amazing! The messiest meal I make is baked ziti with Italian sausage…there’s no such thing as too much cheese or sauce, and it bubbles over every single time!
My favorite messy recipe is lasagna. Seems I can never make it and keep things relatively clean at the same time! :)
I hate to admit that I have a knack for boling over many dishes! Lasagna, wet burrito casserole, lasagna…..just to name a few! Now I’m going to try my hand at boling over your Caprese pasta, it looks good enough to clean the over afterwards!
I make the biggest messes with fruit pies!
Mixed Berry Cupcakes for me. Seems the Jello destroys any hope of them rising and holding shape properly.
Lasagna!
1 – box of lasagna noodles
1 – lb. ground beef
1 – medium onion
mushrooms (optional)
1 – container of cottage cheese
1 or 2 bags of shredded mozzarella cheese
whatever kind of sauce you like. Sometimes in a hurry I use Hunts Spaghetti sauce in the can. This sauce to me isn’t real acidity and doesn’t hurt my stomach.
Boil the noodles unless you’re using the no cook kind.
Place the ground beef and onion in a skillet brown. Drain off the grease. Then add the sauce. Add the mushrooms if using.
I start to layer. I put a little of the ground beef sauce mixture on the bottom.
Then I put noodles down.
A little of the sauce mixture
cottage cheese
Mozzarella cheese
Noodles
Repeat the layers or you can fix it the way you want.
We love a lot Mozzarella cheese in ours, makes real messy.
Put it in a 350 degree oven until it’s bubbly.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I love to make blackberry cobbler in the summertime. I is just delicious and usually bubbles over in the oven. It is all worth it in the end with vanilla ice cream on top!
For me, enchiladas or nachos… I always end up making a mess if the pan isn’t big enough and it overflows in the oven…but it’s oh so good…lol. Love your pics as well, definitely trying out your recipe!
baked alaska
It’s not a recipe that makes the biggest mess for me, it’s sweet potatoes. No matter how many times I make them I always forget to put something under them that will catch all the gooey drippings!
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumb Pie!
The simplest things – like pizza toppings – are what end up smoldering on the bottom of my oven. But that doesn’t dim the anticipation of enjoying the meal!
My favorite messy recipe is bake beans and they are the best!
With the kids helping to cook, it seems ALL my recipes leave the oven messy. But the exploding-baked-potato incident stands out in my mind, I must admit.
Well….probably the “biggest” mess maker I cook is berry pies, yummy. But I also make a pretty darn good mess with the baked beans that always run over, and you know how much molasses and tomato=ey stuff I put in mine. I’m thinking I just might make these dishes more often with an LG Easy Clean Oven! Great recipe, I will try it!
My favorite messy recipe is homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs. There is no way to stay clean when you are eating spaghetti & Meatballs. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful oven.
Ever since my bearly adult son got into the old series, Twin Peaks, I have to make him cherry pie. The first time I made it the filling ended up all over the bottom of the oven, now I use a foil lined cookie sheet under it but there still is a mess. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I can be a messy preparer-I like to bake – but when I am craving the lasagne I love it really messes up my kitchen! It never fails that my ricotta mixture is all over my noodles and me! When I grate the cheese it flies everywhere and the sauce is always splattered over my clothes and counters! My family loves lasagne, it’s been fun to teach my kids to make it, but the worst is the cleanup! I like your recipe description and need to try it too!
Either my blackberry brown butter tart or my husband’s favorite veggie enchiladas – totally need a self-clean oven!
It has to be lasagna!

My favorite recipe that messes up my oven is Peach Cobbler.
Black raspberry jam—there’s always at least a little jam on the stove, counter, floor, and my shirt.
So many faves… one of the messiest though is roast chicken with loads of roasted veggies , potatoes, and garlic!.. it always seems to spill over!
Probably my messiest is my triple crust cobbler. No matter the kind of fruit I use it does tend o bubble over
Apple Cranberry Pie…no matter how I fill or not fill it always bubbles over with all that wonderful goodness and makes a gooey mess, but I don’t mind since it tastes so delish!
Scalloped potatoes
Bacon is so much easier to make in the oven…but not any easier to clean up afterwards. Sigh.
I tend to overfill my cake pans so I can level them to get a perfect two inch layer and sometimes they run over into the oven.
I can drop anything off the side of a cookie sheet! I’ve lost many a roasted carrot to the bottom of my oven. I’d love to win!
My messiest Recipe is my Pizzeles, I like to dip them in powdered sugar on both sides, Not only is my counter a mess but I manage to get it all over myself and on the floor and of course my dog ends up getting in the action too!
Messiest recipe till date has been apple pie. If I dont put a sheet pan under the pie dish then all the juices mess up the oven!
My favorite cheesecake pie can get quite messy in the oven (while also getting quite delicious).
Your caprese pasta looks so gooooood! My pies (any kind) spill over and then the next time I bake…..smoke!
My messiest recipe is Elderberry Pie or Blueberry Pie. They just love to boil over the pie dish, but oh, so worth it.
Cherry pie is the messiest.
My secret recipe Lasagna! 5 cheese and 3 meats mushrooms spinach…I put so much in my lasagna pan it never stays in!
My favorite messy dish is probably my apple cinnamon cobbler!
My favorite recipe that messes up my oven every time is my white chicken spinach lasagna…every time I make it I say “this time I am not going to put so much in the dish.”” and every time I continue to stuff a little to much of all that goodness into the pan..but the mess is worth it!
Remember casseroles? Any dish of mixed ingredients cooked in liquid that is MEANT to soak into a starch while cooking. Recipe for a mess!
Toll House Pie is a weapon of mass destruction to my oven. This pie is like eating a mega chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven. The pie itself is a slice of ooey gooey heaven but it bubbles over and messes up the oven every time. This is the most requested dish I have ever made. Needless to say, my oven is often a mess.
My family’s messiest recipe is Lasagna! Wow! It spatters everywhere but oh so worth it!
I always make a mess when I make peach pie. The juicy peaches bubble out and then burn onto the bottom of the oven. I forgot to clean it up and the next time I used the oven, I set off the fire alarm!
Apple or Pumpkin pies!
Every time I make ribs, I put on too much barbecue sauce and my pan isn’t big enough so it gets all over the botoom of my oven.
When I make my pumpkin bread, even if I skimp on the ingredients, it always explodes or overflows in the oven! Stinky, stinky oven.
Chicken Pot Pie measurements are never exactly right and it definitely overflows sometimes!
gotta be homemade pizzas.
I just made my favorite Blueberry Buckle recipe last week, and the blueberry juices bubbled up over the baking pan. It created a sticky, burnt mess!
my bbq pulled pork
Summer cobblers and pies are super messy but totally worth it. I especially love making bumbleberry pie.
Cheesecake!! My springform pan never has a good enough seal, and it seems like my graham crust always leaks a little butter or something!! Doesn’t stop me from making them, though!
No matter how hard I try, Lasagna gets everywhere
Mac and Cheese with Bacon and Leeks.
Twice baked potatoes are always messy in my house!
2 summers ago I was baking 2 four berry pies in my oven and forgot to put a cookie sheet under them and the filling bubbled over the sides of the pie plate and on to the floor of my oven making a very sticky to clean up.
My lasagna messes my oven up real good.
The recipe that leaves my oven messy is my enchiladas! I stuff the baking dishes full and use lots of cheese and sauce which, even if I cover them, tends to bubble and slosh over the edge when I pull them out :)
Chicken pot pies always seem to eek out and make a mess in my oven.

It’s hard to beat a good old gooey apple pie, piled so high it HAS to overflow in the oven. ;)
Mine is a simple one: poached egg in the microwave…explodes almost every time! Yet i still poach on :0) ALSO, I’m an avid baker renovating an 1850s home and could so use this oven!
Mine is a simple one: poached egg in the microwave! Explodes every time, yet i poach on :0)
All the ‘cheesies’ are the messiest in my oven, Lasagna, Pizza, Mac N Cheese, and there is nothing more not fun than stuck on cheese!
Caramel Corn! Messy but it’s a Christmas tradition!
My favorite mess would have to be Homemade Chicken Potpie.
Our favorite is ribs…and one time it completely overflowed the pan and was quite the mess to clean.
Just to say I’d like to mess-up my oven with that Caprese Pasta right now, just sayin’
Like you I find that a bubbling caldron of tomato based sauces is bound to result in an oven splattering mess (and a great dinner), it’s a dilemma.
Lasagna, the spaghetti sauce and cheese always splatters all over the oven leaving a big mess for me to clean up.
Our favorite messy recipe is my overloaded cheese, sauced and awesome Lasagna!
tweety: https://twitter.com/myfolly/status/343952510182105088
My messy recipe is deffinetly stuffed peppers but they are so worth it!
Baked 5 cheese’s Triple layer Lasagna is by far our family’s most favorite of Messy recipes
caramel apple pie is always messy to make

My cherry pie
My favorite recipe that messes up my oven is duck. The juice always leaks.
Roasting a fat turkey always splatters grease all over my oven. The crisp skin makes it worth it though!
Berry pies always bubbling and popping
I printed this one out; we’re making this TONIGHT! I’m hungry just looking at it! One of our favorite messy pasta recipes is mac and cheese; I’ve never once not had it bubble over (it might help if I didn’t fill the pan so high, but it’s gone so quickly that I have to make as much as possible)
Country style pork ribs. I’ll make these the day before I need to clean the oven.
Pecan Pie from an old recipe that I begged from a resort in Mexico. No roll crust, but a mess in the oven because too much filling for the crust and I try to squeeze in every last delicious dollop!
Baked manicotti
My family loves my chicken pot pie, but it’s messy in the oven (and a little messy to eat).
I would love to win this LG oven. My favorite messy recipe is the Strawberry and Rhubarb Crumble. So good…but the sauce always boil over.
amy [at] utry [dot] it
My meatloaf leaves a mess!
My family’s favorite meal that leaves a mess in the oven & the kids is lasagna!
my husbands homemade loaded pasta dish always leaves the stove an unreal mess. Thanks for the chance to win.
Scalloped potatoes always leave a mess.
Pizza Pizza! Love that messy stuff.
First off, I love your site, and I love this recipe….but I’m having a hard time seeing where to add the fresh basil. I’ve read the recipe five or six times looking for it. I made this last night, and my family loved it, but I just guessed and added the chopped fresh basil after mixing the pasta with the sauce. Is that right, or should it have gone in earlier?
You can definitely add it after mixing the pasta with the sauce. I like to top it fresh after the pasta is baked! :)
I’ve used this recipe several times now and I just want to say THANK YOU! It is the only recipe (besides spaghetti) that I can guarantee my two small kids will eat. What’s more, they want seconds. And the next day, and the next, they want leftovers.
We take out the tomatoes now because I’m allergic, though with the tomatoes it tasted great. We do add sausage, just a smoked sausage cut into half slices, to give it some meat. My husband demands meat at every meal. :)
Thank you so much for your comment Brooke! This is a meal my two kiddos will eat too and I love it. My husband is definitely a meat kind of guy so I am going to have to try adding sausage to it…thanks for the idea! xo
Could you put chicken in this?
Yes definitely, I think it would be amazing! :)
2 ounces of mozzarella is not very much? is this supposed to be 2 cups?
Hi! I usually use between 2-5 ounces depending on how much I have on hand! The more cheese the better though! :)
Made this last night…LOVED it!! Thanks :)
Oh I’m so happy you loved it Steph! Thanks for commenting! :)
for how many persons is this recipe?
It should serve 4-6 people. :)
this looks so good and easy. I’m looking for ways to use my garden tomatoes and this will be yummy, thanks
We have pasta on Wednesdays and I’ve been trying to get away from always having meat sauce, meatballs, lasagna or alfredo…so I’ve been pulling new stuff off of Pinterest. I’m so glad I tried your easy recipe! Even though it is NOT tomato season so the wee tomatoes were low on flavor, it was still yummy. In the summer, when tomatoes are peaking, this will be even better. I did use around 8oz of mozz…but who’s counting?
Thank you for sharing your recipe :-)
I love this recipe! But I made a little adjustment.. I added GROUND BEEF! It made it so so so much more delicious! Thank you!!
This was amazingly delicious…the WHOLE family ate it..which is rare with 2 picky girls….super easy too which is always a winner :) thanks for sharing!!!
This sounds delicious
