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

      Pretty sure everywhere except Minnesota calls it a casserole.

        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.
