(Yes, this is real.)
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.
Yes, but it’s either Hot Dish or Trump.
uhmm, hot dish or steamy pile of bull crap? maybe if i was a dung beetle
You do not dis a Midwesterner’s hot dish. Not if you want to live.
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.
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.
Why is this not being covered in the news?
They’re bought and paid for by the Harris campaign. They don’t want this sort of thing getting out there!
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.
Onion’s probably my second favorite vegetable today, but I didn’t like them much as a kid. Granted, I’m not much for spicy food, but that’s because of heartburn, not because I don’t like them.
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
“What kind of coke do you want?”
“Dr. Pepper”Powdered please
So… It’s like a midwesterner’s version of a party piece in Ireland, just with casserole instead of song?
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.
To be a true hot dish you need cream of mushroom soup. No matter what.
Love wild rice in everything though. Another true Midwest food
Aka the Lutheran binder.

Only required ingredient
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.
If it’s got tater tots in it, it is NOT hot dish. Hot dish has noodles. Tots is a casserole thing.
That seems a little contradictory to everything I’ve learned since I married into a Minnesotan family 15+ years ago. I’ve eaten “tater tot hot dish” everywhere from the State Fair to Duluth. Plus, my wife collects cookbooks, and she’s got cookbooks with recipes for everything from the classic Lutheran church recipe to curried chicken tater tot hot dish
So, I’m not saying your stance isn’t valid, but the state of Minnesota begs to differ
My grandparents and dad were born in Minnesota and I now live in Iowa. Tater tots are a rather new and ghoulish addition to cooking in any shape or form and hot dish is a hell of a lot older than “flaked, pressed potato bits”.

I don’t know, the Wikipedia sources credit a Mankato church in the 1930’s as having the first hotdish recipe, and tater tots are documented as being invented in 1953, so tater tots have been around for well over half the history of hotdish.
I mean, of you go to the Wikipedia page for hotdish, its primary picture is a tater tot hotdish, and it specifically calls tater tot hotdish out as an example of “a traditional hotdish”
And as a matter of personal preference, I think that potatoes in general are a far tastier and often healthier form of starch than most noodles.
Tater tots are essentially just cylindered hash browns, which I’m sure are ancient. I don’t do these hot dishes but I use tater tots in breakfast burritos from time to time
According to Google they’re from the late 1800s. Don’t get me wrong, I love meat and potato burritos. But there are pockets of Midwesterners who think tater tots are a food group, when potatoes should really be considered closer to leather shoes on the “starvation/should i eat it chart”
I don’t know what hot dish is but I’ve never seen it on a restaurant’s menu. Seems suspicious!
When a poor person sells the same thing to multiple people on Facebook they get arrested, but when a politician does it you people cheer. Absolutely appalling.
… What?
