Minnesota Hot Dish Recipes

Minnesota hot dish recipes are among the most famous of Minnesota recipes. The "hot dish," is one of those Minnesotan words for which we are famous.

Minnesota Hot Dish Recipes In most other parts of the country, what we call hot dish is called a casserole.

You can expect several versions of this staple to appear at family gatherings and church basement suppers in enclaves of Minnesota culture that are rooted in Scandinavian traditions.

The Minnesota hot dish recipe that we think of first is the Tater-Tot hotdish.

Other classic hot dish recipes almost always contain a can or two of Campbell's soup...usually Cream of Mushroom...though some of us take a risk with other versions.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 10 3/4 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
1 10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 16 oz. package frozen mixed vegetables
1 16 oz. package frozen tater tots
1 1/2 cups cheddar jack cheese

Directions:
