In the beginning, I found Minnesota difficult in Eating the Opponent. Minnesota is so much like Wisconsin, it was hard to find something that was uniquely Minnesota that wasn’t also generally Midwest or Wisconsin type, too. Eventually, we found this.

Classic Tater Tot Hotdish

Easy to cook, delicious comfort food, and very Minnesot’n.

We’ve also made elk meat chili (anything wild game is good), wild rice (often says Minnesota on the package), and good old SPAM. In fact, today we’re planning brunch of pancakes with leftover caramel apple chunks and SPAM on the side. Take that, Vikings!
