I usually don't have dessert becuase I don't have a very big sweet tooth. I still have all of my Halloween candy. Now don't ask why I have Halloween candy. but if you will look to the left you can see what I wore.

But hotdish (casserole to everyone in the other 49 states) is a dream. I can make one dish and eat for the whole weekend. I also used to make my housemates sit down for a family dinner once a week, and during Lent the rule was "if it could be served in a casserole dish it was dinner". How is that for piety?

How did you keep from walking into things?

I was born and raised in MN and I still refer to the dishes at a hotdish. I get a lot of weird looks. There are numerous healthy hotdishes out there, as I am certain you are aware.

Plus Knot already said you are good to go.

do you have any great nutritious hotdish recipes? I am always on the lookout!

would enchilada be considered hotdish then??

we use shredded steamed chicken breast with black beans(cooked), onion, tomato, and cheese. The filling is rolled inside a totilla then lined in a baking dish. We then pour a canned (horror of horrors premade stuff) enchilada sauce sprinkle more cheese on top and bake.

serve with shredded lettuce, avocado, and sliced raddishes. I also like to pour some kind of salsa sauce over the whole thing. TASTEY!!!

Ahem, ahem...this is the Northeast Minneapolis Hotdish Revolution Tater Tot Excellence category champion speaking...yes, two years running...

I've won with my Tater Tot Hotdish each year I've entered. Go classic. Ground beef. Corn. Tasty and healthy (not) cream o' mushroom soup. Heaps of tater tots. Bake until bubbly and gooey. (I also like lowry's on top. I am not a good healthy cook.)

Here's info on the Hotdish Revolution. It's a community fundraiser. TONS of fun!

Hot dishes are great as long as you keep the ingredients in them fresh. Don't use condensed soups (low salt chicken broth or vege broth is okay); minimize the cheese, add lots of veges, lean protein and you are set for a very nice healthy meal!

I cannot believe that I have been in the presence of greatness and not known it!
