Warning: I put a whole cup of sugar in my grandma's chili recipe and it was actually good

I was making her Cincinnati-style chili from the old card last week and misread 'tsp' for 'cup' when adding the brown sugar. It came out weirdly sweet and rich, not what I expected at all. Has anyone else ever messed up a family recipe and had it turn out okay?

Sweet chili sounds wild, @noranguyen's garlic loaf too.

Oh man, that's a huge mix-up but I'm glad it worked out. I once doubled the garlic in my mom's meatloaf by accident, like a whole bulb instead of a few cloves. It was basically vampire repellent but my brother loved it and now he asks me to make it that way.
