Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
This easy to make turkey tater tot hot dish is comfort food at its finest. In the American upper-Midwest, a casserole is called a hot dish, or hotdish, depending on who you ask, and this one features savory, saucy, meaty turkey on the bottom, and a crispy, cheesy tater tot topping. Thank the lawd there is no canned soup. In all my 62 years I ve never used a can of soup in my recipes. I really dislike recipes (crock pot, casserole) that have canned soup. I ll make my own cream soups from scratch first. There! I feel I finally got that off my chest

Wisconsin girl here, have avoided tatertot hotdish for. all my life, even when I lived in Minnesota. You have also forgotten the obligatory jello salad with colored mini marshmallows that goes with this. LoL that's just not midwest nice Chef John, its a sacred food combo as far as I've been able to tell. you already left out the cream of mushroom soup and the green beans, you are in danger of being chased down by farm women armed with cans of soup if you don't appease them with the jello salad.
Also in Minnesota, the tatertots was the vegetable, along with the greenbeans lol.

Former Burgh gal living in the Twin Cities for 35 yrs now- I can happily say I've never had a tater tot hotdish because they look disgusting. I grew up on tuna noodle casserole and that was pretty much it. Love me some crushed Wise potato chips! (Can we add chipped ham)
Now this one? This I could do! You had me at, I'm not going to use a can of soup: -)

Thank you for another tasty looking recipe provided with your customary and very entertaining and amusing commentary.
That looks like a great cool weather comfort food meal. Not a fan of turkey though so I will be trying it with some ground pork. Can't see any reason that wouldn't work out. Either way I will eat it.

If you really want to make it authentic, if someone asks if you want a second helping, you have to politely refuse. Oh, no, I couldn't eat another. They will ask again, and you must politely refuse once again. And then the host or hostess, will insist a third time, and only then you can accept.

I'm going to try this soon! My son (who is my caretaker cause I'm old, LOL) lives with me. However, he can't have dairy or eggs. Finally a casserole that doesn't require either! I can use vegan cheese and it will be just a tasty, I'm sure!

Here in Canada. We are done our Thanksgiving celebrations for 2 weeks. All most and I still have Turkey. Leftover. I was thinking of doing mullagatawny but just didn't have the craving for it. This sounds perfect dish to do with it.
Yaay

As a Minnesotan i am so deeply offended by this being called tatertot hotdish. Yeah it looks delicious but if you said you were bringing tatertot hot dish and showed up with this i would kick you out. Up here this is a very specific thing.
reply

As a lifelong Minnesotan i never imagined tator tot hotdish with ingredients other than hamburger, corn, and cream of mushroom soup. This version looks pretty damn tasty and i will be trying it in the future.

This Midwest gal saw Tater Tots and hit that button to watch! Looks delish for a cold day.
Indiana gal here, I think the older generations use the term casserole more than the younger ones.

Northern IL checking in: Is it even a Hot Dish without the can of soup? IDK. I'm literally less than a mile from a bean field and my family says we're from Chicago neenerneeenerneeeener pizza
reply

Oh jeez, first time I ve seen a hot dish without cream of mushroom soup. But you are the Minnesotan of what should go in your video too. Still looks darn tasty dontcha know.
reply

I love that you presented a casserole that has been redone to eliminate canned cream soups. Would love to see if you can redo others, just a thought. Thank you for this fun video

If you add a half pound of fried bacon chopped to the mix prior to depositing it in the casserole dish, it could be a baked tater tot version of a Derby Hot Brown!
reply

I love tater tot hot pots. I always partially defrost the tots as I learned they don't always crisp up when they are frozen solid, especially on creamier dishes.
reply

Casserole. Dang those Minnesotans and their hot dish. The same people that also say, Duck, duck, grey duck instead of duck, duck, goose. They can t be trusted.
reply

Hot dish ingredients can be somewhat flexible, but you had very good tot formation and DID mention Cambell's cream soup and green beans, so Minnesota approved.
reply

Looks really good
but I would have to say no to the green chilis I'm not a fan of hot spicy food. I'm okay with a little bit of chili powder and salsa

reply

This is much better than the TT hot dish I have. This doesn't use cream of mushroom soup! And no green beans. I live in Minnesota with some peculiar food.
reply

Note that Chef John is using a standard fry pan-that you can buy at any restaurant supply house-and doesn't cost 200 +. Any old thing will do.
