Does Your Favorite Hot Dish Make The List?

The Minnesota absolute number 1 hot dish that I usually think of first is the Tater Tot Hot Dish.

This classic hot dish recipe almost always contains a can or two of Campbell's soup. I usually choose Cream of Celery (I don't like mushrooms)...though some of us take a risk with other versions! And I also spice it up with some Wild Rice sprinkled within.

This hot dish recipe is a wonderful tribute to both our Scandinavian and Native American heritages. Notice if you are not familiar with the recipe click here.

Here is a Minnesota Hot Dish that seems to have it all: dried potatoes, chicken, cream of celery soup and peas! If you want to be daring, add pimento. What could be more Minnesotan? Here is a good recipe you can try!

It's kinda like tater tot hot dish, but you sub out the tots for top and bottom layers of crescent rolls. Still VERY Minnesotan!

That's right: tacos in hot dish form (I won't mention the horror that is the actual Minnesota taco). Ground beef, salsa (always mild), cheese, onion, "Spanish" rice, and tortilla chips or Fritos crunched up on top, with lettuce and tomato to be added after it's out of the oven. Don't fool yourself, though: Chiles other than the occasional can of Ro-Tel have no place in this Minnesota hot dish. Don't forget the sour cream.

A crispy, savory crust of cheese, crushed cornflakes and butter tops a combination of ham, hash-brown potatoes, cubed cheese, condensed soup and sour cream. Talk about keeping you warm on a cold winter's night!

It's a staple for many after Thanksgiving, I'm just not a big turkey kid of guy. This hot dish also is without a top or bottom piece to it.
