    Is there a real link for this? I’ll donate to get the recipe. Not sure what a hot dish is but I donate anyways so may as well get something good.

      Hot dish is a version of casserole that is highly cherished in Minnesota (particularly tater tot hot dish)

        The key ingredient is cream of mushroom soup. It’s not hot dish unless there’s cream of mushroom soup

          I read somewhere it just needs cream of something; cream of chicken is commonly used in my wife’s family recipes, especially in wild rice or broccoli cheese hot dishes.

          That said, I’m not a MN native; I just married into this goodness a decade and a half back.

        Thanks! Going to find a recipe and give it a shot. Can’t turn down tater tots.

          Here’s Tim Walz’s Tater Tot Hot Dish recipe, but it’s not really the most traditional recipe (Walz’s recipe uses turkey instead of beef, doesn’t use canned cream of mushroom soup, and traditional tater tot hot dish doesn’t have much, if any, cheese)

          That said, it looks great and has a bunch of positive reviews online. My Minnesotan wife is pretty excited to try it.

    Dear God, he violated the sacred rule of hot dish recipes. Sharing the family recipe is sacrilegious

      True story: I met Gwen this week and she gave me Molasses cookies. We’re all part of the Walz family now.

          I kind of feel like he’s more like America’s friend’s dad who’s cooler than your dad.

      Yes, but it’s either Hot Dish or Trump.

        Trump will share his recipe for hamberders (order them at McDonalds), well done steak with ketchup (made by someone at one of his hotels), or if you’re A Hispanic, the infamous taco salad bowl.

          You do not dis a Midwesterner’s hot dish. Not if you want to live.

    Classic Minnesota. People up there refer to ‘hot dish’ as if it is one thing, even though it’s really any type of casserole, and also act like each individual can only make one kind of ‘hot dish’. Example: “hey have you ever had my grandma’s hot dish?” or “my dad made his hot dish today, hell yeah”. In the latter example, his dad’s Hot Dish was onions and ground beef with a ton of soy sauce, served with chow mein noodles on top.

      I assume Tim Walz’s hot dish is way too spicy for most Minnesotans. I hear he puts three drops of Tabasco in it.

        People in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin believe that onion is too spicy for children. To be fair, they did have some crazy strong winter onions there.

          They’re bought and paid for by the Harris campaign. They don’t want this sort of thing getting out there!

      So… It’s like a midwesterner’s version of a party piece in Ireland, just with casserole instead of song?

      Think of hot dishes like how the south uses coke to refer to pop. When you get asked if you’ve had someone’s hot dish, they’re either referring to the hot dish sitting in front of you or a secret recipe that stays in the family

    I don’t know what hot dish is but I’ve never seen it on a restaurant’s menu. Seems suspicious!
