Hot Dish: start them out right and they will never stray. Hot dish, the
meal to love from cradle to grave and after.

OK, but why pay money for it in a restaurant?

<sigh> How many times do I have to tell "you people" that hotdish is one
word. A hot dish is one on which you'll burn your fingers if you pick
it up without a hotpad. You're welcome. What I described isn't a
hotdish. There's no macaroni in it.

I'm a Texan, and /even I/ knew that. ;-)

Is macaroni *required*, or just typical? I'm pretty sure it can still
be hotdish with broken spaghetti noodles, Tater Tots, chow mein noodles,
or in some cases rice. I'm pretty sure I have some recipes like that
saved from the STrib. It does seem to need a lot of starchies though.

Why not?

(why is there no macaroni in it, that is?)

Dunno, though I've never seen a strata recipe with
macaroni/pasta/noodles in it.

I stand corrected, Bob, and regret the exclusions. Tater Tots are made
from potatoes but their inclusion is usually as a topping on the
hotdish, not as an ingredient in the goopy part, though the TTs
certainly contribute to the overall hotdishness of it. "Macaroni"
includes noodles (spaghetti or egg noodles). Chow mein noodles are ‹‹
chow mein noodles, and they're an acceptable component to a Real
Hotdish, too. Rice, too, I suppose, but I think macaroni (shells,
elbows, rotini, penne, or bowties) are most typical. Because I said,
*that's* why! LOL!

I would certainly rate it a "That's different" ;-)
