Now, if you're new to this whole hotdish thing (that’s what Northerner's call casserole, ya know) it's a true Midwestern staple. It’s not just food—it’s a way of life, a tradition that brings folks together, and something you can count on at any family get-together. Simple, satisfying, and always a crowd-pleaser, you betcha!

We’ve got three categories to choose from:
Traditional Hotdish – Gotta include something canned, frozen, or packaged. It must be layered and baked.

Non-Traditional/Creative Hotdish – Get creative! Layered and baked, but with your own personal twist.

Dessert Hotdish – Yes, dessert hotdish is a thing, and it’s delicious! Must be layered and sweet—Jell-O’s encouraged!

This is going to be such a fun day, filled with good food, great folks, great prizes for the Hotdish participants, and a whole lotta love. We can’t wait to see what you bring to the table!
