A sneak peek at Thursday's episode of "Bringing Up Bates" reveals Erin's method for making dinner in the Bates family household that includes 19 children.

Season two of UP's hit reality season kicked off earlier this month with Gil and Kelly Jo Bates and their large brood on their unique celebration of "I love you day." This week, fans can get a glimpse of dinnertime in the Bates family, starting with Erin's contribution.

"Erin, for the longest time, was the worst cook ever," Tori Bates, 7, shares in the first look at this week's episode. "But she kinda had a genius little plan. She never cooked until she got married, and now she's like the best cook ever."

Also chiming in, Zach joked that Erin's cooking often ended up in flames.

"We did have a rule when Erin cooked at the house — when Erin cooked, we would say, when the fire alarm goes off, dinner is ready," the eldest Bates son quipped.

The larger-than-life family became an immediate sensation upon its debut on Up TV in January and remains the highest-rated series in the history of the network. As season two continues, fans will watch as the Bates family encounters major milestones, such as Michaella and Brandon's engagement in Washington, D.C. and the couple's plans leading up to their recently announced Aug. 15 wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Season two will also see Erin's challenging first pregnancy as well as the joyful birth of baby Carson, who will be featured prior before the birth of Alyssa and John's first child, Allie Jane. During the season finale, the Bates family will head to Dolly Parton's theme park, Dollywood, where they will make their singing debut.

"Bringing Up Bates" airs on UP TV at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays. Watch the sneak peek of Thursday's installment below.
