Despite their best efforts, the food turned out nothing like you would expect, and some people even questioned what they meal was supposed to be in the first place.
This came after the wannabe chef took to Facebook to show off their concoction with a picture from before it went into the over and after.
"How do you make lasagne, mine came out crispy as hell and I want it soft, please help," the Facebook user wrote alongside the pictures.

Unsurprisingly, the meal only looked worse after some time in the oven.
Instead of melting, the cheese shrivelled up and burned, and the dry spaghetti didn't look any more enticing either.
After sharing the snaps in the popular Facebook group people were so shocked by the food creation they thought the foodie must've been joking.
"This has got to be satire," one person commented on the viral post.

And someone else quipped: "Who raised you?!"
This isn't the first time food fans have been left stunned by a meal.

Rather than using actual eggs, the mum whipped up the first meal of the day with a ''scrambled egg mix'' - which was essentially just a powder.

The gut-churning concoction called for half a cup of the scrambled egg mix which she dissolved with warm water, as well as the bacon bits - which needed to be re-hydrated with cold water.
For extra flavour and texture the mum also chucked in some freeze fried cheddar cheese that had to go in the water before as well.
Once the egg mixture was ready, Michelle cooked it on the pan, before squeezing the water out of the shredded cheese and throwing a spoonful of the watery bacon.
