      Minnesotan here. Casserole is the dish, hotdish is the food you cook in the casserole.

        I thought casserole was the food and hotdish was the hot dish that the food was cooked in.

        Hotdish is the casserole dish when it comes out of the oven.

        Strangely enough, we had hot dish growing up in northern Ohio. Then we moved to Wisconsin (on the border with MN) and we didn’t have to go to reeducation camp.

        Casserole includes noodles I thought? That’s the difference between hot dish and casserole.

          It’s just some kind of starch. It often is noodles, but potatoes or rice are also common.
