Remember a while back I told you about my friend who married a man
from Minnesota and when she went with him to visit family she was
amazed cause she didn't know what hot dish was?

Well, she said she wants some hot dish recipes to make for him.

I know you said you have some on your blog, but I couldn't find a
recipe index.

Can you point me to your favorite hot dish recipes???

thanks!!!

Isn't a 'hot dish' recipe pretty much the same as a casserole
recipe? If so... here are some:

Grin, classic recipes! A simple time and a simple recipe. They don't over
fancify it there or it changes name from 'hot dish' to something else.

Here's another, almost too fancy to be 'hot dish'.

Ground beef and turkey mixed with sage and black pepper. Wrap this fairly
well around a tater tot. Bake on trays until 'meatballs' are done (slightly
crisping). Make a big batch of brown gravy. Add meatballs and bring to the
party. Some versions use a few of the meatball filling as cheese so you get
a mix and match and others wrap a bit of cheese sliced thin about the tater
tot before the meat.

A simple slice of Americana. Not fancy, just home.

I think about farm families with many mouths to feed and not much money
with which to do it. Mom may well have been working in the fields, too,
and needed to put food in the bellies with a minimum of fuss and fixing.
Like it or no, a can of this and a can of that, (or a pint of this or
that from the cellar stores) and a can of Cream of Glop to bind it all
together could be it or could be a big part of it. She did the best
she could with what she knew and with what was available to her. And if
it was palatable to those at table, the daughters would be asking for
the recipe when they had their own kitchens and families. The Circle of
Life. <grin> Hakuna matata. The beat goes on.

And that's the story of the cuisine of every country in the world. It's
only very recently that whole populations are rich enough that everyone eats
at all.

So many foods our ancestors (say, in the last 75-100 years) ate may not
have been particularly healthful by today's standards, but they were so
much more physically active that it didn't matter so much. JMO, of
course. I am not a dietitian nor a nutritionist nor a medical
researcher. (And that's a generic Mom in my post above, though it
could have been my own mother, too.)

The first time I ever heard of a Hot Dish, was in this newsgroup. It
sounds interesting. Last night I was watching something on Food TV, and
they were talking about a Horseshoe. They were in Springfield, Missouri
and each restaurant in town has their own versions of the Horseshoe. It
is meat, with a pile of french fries poured on top, then a cheese sauce
is ladled over everything. The first photo they showed, looked like
food scraps, it did not look appetizing. I am guessing it tastes better
than it looks.

My great grandma swore by coffee with cornbread and bacon grease in it
in the mornings, so I can vouch for your statement.

Blech.

One of my enduring memories of food growing up was the
"throwitalltogether" dishes my Mum made. She was not in the fields, but
she was chronically ill and often didn't feel that good or have much
energy. And the 70s was the era of convenience foods. My dad didn't earn
a lot, so budget meals were the standard.

She would throw some onion in the electric frying pan, then add beef
mince (ground beef), and then open the cupboard. What did we have - a
can of borlotti or kidney beans, a can of tomatoes, some worcestershire
sauce. Open the freezer, some corn or peas.

Sometimes pasta or rice was added.

I don't remember it ever tasting bad :-)

not MO but IL is the home of the horseshoe.

I saw one before i lost my sight, looks like food that has been eaten
before... some however do taste good... the horse shoe or pony shoe has
designated layers but each layer has several options, and not one resturant
has the same configuration, great for kids on vacation, Lee

Halfway between a garbage plate, and a poutine. Or simply a
meat-containing poutine, with cheese sauce substituted for curd cheese.
You can get those in Montreal.

Should be good, if made fresh.

Sounds like poutine with the layers shuffled.

Horseshoe is:

Cheese
Fries
Meat/gravy


Poutine is:

Meat/gravy
Cheese
Fries

It doesn't sound much different from one of the only fast food dishes I
like. KFC Famous Bowl with breaded chicken, gravy, corn, cheese and
mashed potatoes. Comfort food.
