**THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER. Thanks to everyone who entered!** P&G and My BlogSpark gave me an awesome challenge. It was a challenge I met with eagerness, although I have to be honest and say that I had MAJOR doubts. I was challenged to use a brand new baking dish (provided by P&G and My BlogSpark) and to bake Blueberry Cobbler in the dish. Let me tell you that Blueberry Pie is my favorite desert and Blueberry Cobbler is a close second. So far so good right? Well, let’s just say that the baking dish is bright white AND the remaining rules of the challenge were that I had to let the dirty baking dish sit for 24 hours before washing it with Cascade Complete All-in-One Action Packs. And, to top it off, once I put the baking dish in the dishwasher, I was not allowed to rinse it out or remove the blueberry goodness that was now dried up and caked to the sides!! My husband jokes that I wash my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher so this part of the challenge was difficult for me. The pictures below will show the before, during and after results! **Email me if you want the recipe – it was divine!
Crisp White Brand-New Baking Dish ready to be filled with marvelous Blueberry Cobbler.
Marvelous Blueberry Cobbler before being baked in the oven.
Hot Blueberry Cobbler fresh from the oven. If only you could have smelled my kitchen when this picture was taken. YUM.
Empty, dirty baking dish 24 hours after Blueberry Cobbler has dried and caked onto it. You don’t even know how hard it was for me to look at this dish sitting dirty on my counter for 24 hours!!
Tadaaa! After running my dishwasher with a Cascade Complete All-in-One Action Pac, the baking dish was perfectly clean, bright white and looks brand new again!! I was shocked!! I normally totally rinse off every item before putting them in the dishwasher so I was SO SO skeptical that the baking dish would turn out perfectly clean. But it did! I now LOVE Cascade Complete All-in-One Action Pacs and am excited at the concept that I no longer have to rinse out my dishes before loading the dishwasher!! What a timesaver!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I’d have to say hands down the messiest meal is lasagna. I don’t know if its the baked on cheese, the tomato sauce that hardens on the side or the sticky noodles. But I generally have to let that pan soak for at least overnight before I tackle it!
I am already a fan of yours on Facebook
My messiest baked dinner would have to be my mom’s Beannie Bake! It sounds disgusting, but it is baked beans, molasses and hot dogs baked with french fried onions on top! Childhood comfort food!!!
I just signed up for your newsletter today too!
Sounds like fun Liza-I don’t cook much but Lasagna is a meal that I would prefer to just throw the dish away when I’m done instead of cleaning it! I’m a Fan and subscriber already.
I just subscribed 🙂
what does mail mean? email or snail mail? I put email but not sure if that’s what’s required
probably lasagna…that one never comes out clean!
I’m a fan on facebook!
i ‘like” you 😉
my messiest dishes are always from chicken enchiladas…that red sauce is alwyas a killer!!! 🙂
Baked Cavatini is easily my messiest clean-up! I am your biggest FAN and already a subscriber! I would love to clean it up with some Cascade Action Pacs!!!

Baked turkey ziti is always a mess for me to clean up, especially if I am really lazy and don’t get to wash it up, or if it is a day or two after we have leftovers!

cheesy casserole! gets all stuck to the sides and so hard to scrub but so yummy! i cant believe that dish!!!
Messiest dish: lasagna. basically anything with tomato sauce and/or cheese!
Oh! I forgot to say I am a FB fan and email subscriber.
Messiest dish I make is Chinese Chicken Casserole. The casserole dish takes a lot of elbow grease to get clean.
My biggest mess is baken on Crockpot barbeque sauce. I shudder to think about!
I am a fan of Addicted to Savings on Facebook. (And happy to be one.)

everytime i make “Bruschetta Chicken Bake” it leaves the pan a mess. usually have to leave it in the sink overnight to soak.
I’m already a fan on facebook and i already subscribe to the newsletter, in fact i look forward to it everyday around 5:00
My messiest dish would probably be my wet enchiladas. I honestly would rather use throw away pans to make that but I don’t. The sauce and the cheese are the worst! I’m already a fan on Facebook (I check it constantly during the day) and already subscribe to the newsletter
I’m getting hungry looking at all the comments! Mine would be baked ziti! And Liza, I also clean my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. 🙂
Like so many others, the 1st meal that comes to my mind is ooey, gooey lasagna, but isn’t it worth it?
It’s not actually my dish, it’s my 12 yr old daughters. She is learning to bake and makes this amazing berry cobbler! Sticky, yummy mess!
Broiling things like chicken (with the skin) and pork chops in the oven always leave my bakeware splattered with grease. It is a REAL pain and is usually impossible to get all of it off.
I made Enchiladas tonight and between the red sauce and the burnt on cheese in the casserole dish, it was tough to get that clean WITHOUT it sitting for 24 hrs.
Btw, I really do enjoy getting Addicted to Savings via FB. I probably save more now than I did before.
Mexican Lasagna.
I just subscribed to your newsletter, and I really, really LIKE you on FB!
My messiest dish is Baked Spaghetti Casserole. Tomato goo and cheese goo everywhere.
I live on the other coast of FL (though I used to live in Sarasota)so most of your info is very, very helpful to me.
I really appreciate all the hard work you do that benefits so many of us.
Hey Liza,
I’d have to say that my chicken enchiladas make a huge mess and I would almost rather throw out the dish than wash it. I’m a fan of Addicted to Savings and I just signed up for your newsletter!
hm….would have to be baked ziti -yuck! Sometimes, would rather just toss the pan than have to deal with it!!
I get your daily email…and love it!
I’m a FB fan!
For some reason, my squash casserole is always a pain to clean after devouring every yummy bite!
I would have to say my lasagna is really hard to clean up after! I have actually been tempted to use those disposable foil baking pans-ahhhh!!!
Definitely lasagna!!
I am a new FB fan!!
The dish I find hardest to clean is from my baked homemade macaroni & cheese! It’s such a pain in the neck to clean, I will have to try this Cascade to see if it does the trick!

My dirtiest meal would be lasagna. I cannot believe the amazing results from you using this product!
Lasagna or any type of casserole. It just baked on with big crusty bits stuck to the pan.
My hubby usually does the dishes and he has a love/hate relationship with my homemade mac n cheese. He loves to eat it, but hates to clean it up. Cheese baked and hardened on the side…oh so good though.
1. Enchilada bake is the WORST to clean up.. but YUUMMO!
2. I am a fan
3. I get the newsletter
4. I HOPE I win! 🙂
I’m going to say Lasagna is the toughest dish with the combination of baked on cheese, the starch from the pasta and the tomato sauce seems to give the plastic things that “orange-glow” as the pan is being washed.
I am already a fan and signed up for the e-newsletter, too.
Thanks for the GC giveaway!
I get your newletter.
My stuffed shells is the worst to clean up.

My messiest dish is what has been named “Leeni-roni” in our house (my Dad used to call me Leeny)…it’s a cheesy, meaty ziti dish…love the meal, can’t stand the clean-up!

When i Make Au Grautin Potatoes I Cant Seem To Get My Dish Clean Afterwards
baked pasta for sure……dried on
Hi Liza,
LASAGNA with lots of ooey gooey cheese baked on it is tough to clean. In the past I’ve put a fabric softener sheet in the pan with water and let it soak but it would be lovely to know tha I could just throw it in the dishwasher as I am also a pre-washer. I hope I win!!!
Liza,
You’re a celebrity and I’m already a fan 🙂
My main baked on thing is Charleston Cheese, it just clings and clings, you’d think that as often as I make it, I’d remember to spray this dish every once in a while!
I’m all ready a fan and LOVE your posts!!! I’m guessing that the messiest dish would be hamburger enchiladas!
i am a fan on facebook. heck,I even signed up to get updates on my phone! LOL. yes, it’s THAT important.
my chicken casserole is the messiest. even with cooking spray. the rice and cream of mushroom soup baked to the sides, eww. i have been known to buy the disposable pans from the store just so i don’t have to scrub.
Awesome!!! I hope I win.
My messiest and hardest dish to clean is a lasagna ‘leftover’ pan that’s been baked and then stored in fridge for a day or two and then either re-warmed in the oven or the micro! I usually have to let it soak for several hours and then scrub.

Gotta be the yummy cheesy rigatoni I make because it is my husband’s favorite!
looked good
For me, it’s gotta be my husband’s homemade lasagna. It’s big, thick and a messy bunch of yummy goodness that is hard to clean up.
I think that my homemade Crockpot Lasgana is the worst. Great tasting but a devil to clean.
Spaghetti and red beans and rice are the dirtiest meals I make.
