/cream of mushroom dish is a bit too gourmet and not the typical (southern) Minnesota hot dish. The tomato base hot dishes that several posters described were generally referred to as “goulash” by my family members....

I can only handle the fair about once a decade. What’s the verdict on the much-ballyhooed hotdish on a stick from last year?

I like Diane’s recipe-(even though I’m from the midwest-I try to avoid the creamed soup varietals for "casseroles and hotdishes")....but I agreed with one of the posters who made a roux – and then added shredded...

I could absolutely see Bobby Flay putting tater tot hotdish on his menu at Bar Americain.

In Minnesota, that’s "hashbrown hotdish", but I digress. They’re actually pretty good and the cornflakes add a very nice crunchiness. I’m not sure if it’s good with wild ahi tuna steaks, though. I picture...

Nice review, I need to get there since it’s in my 'hood. Their late night dining option especially intrigues me, however I do wish they’d post a menu online. BTW, without crumbled potato chips, the corned beef hotdish...

I was realizing that there’s life (and taste!) beyond hotdishes.

i know you are, hotdish :D if you’re looking for a full on party vibe, rp ain’t it. they do some special event stuff from time to time that is down right festive tho. the 7 course red waddle pig dinner comes to mind....

All of St. Paul is smoke-free, even the bars! I’ve got to get back over to the Little Oven one of these days. They have this cheesy hotdish—can’t remember the name, alas—that is glorious comfort food. ~TDQ

I live in the Midwest, and consequently pronounce “casserole” as "hot-dish." Still. I prefer to call a dish what it is in its native language insomuch as I can. The paella is pronounced in the Spanish (more typical, I...

Being an unholy amalgam of Scandihoovian, Italian, and East-European Jewish, I ate a lot of things that people in the Midwest (who grew up on KD and hotdish and fried fish) had never heard of, let alone eaten. I used to bring Dr....

what’s supposed to be the ‘complete’ list of exchanges, and it seems to be geared toward rural Minnesotans... they even give the exchanges for tuna-noodle hotdish. What’s there is a fine base off of which I...

with which Midwestern food (which is almost universally panned) is made. I actually like some hotdishes, and I wish I could find large enough chunks of pork to make a really great tenderloin sandwich. Or finding really good wild...

ask each group to bring a dish — Aunt Mary to bring yams, Aunt Vi to bring green-bean hotdish, Uncle Lou the bachelor to scrounge up some dinner rolls, etc. I think it’s a fine idea. My wife, however, is scandalised...
