While I question your non-identifiation of Colorado with the mid-west, I
agree that "hotdish" is a northern midwest term (Minnesota, Iowa, the
Dakotas, Nebraska) - maybe a Plains States term. And probably does have
a Scandanavian cultural (but not linguistic) origin. Since the
Scandanavians had a great deal to do with homesteading these states in
the late 19th and early 20th century, and since most Scandanavians were
Lutheran... well, I think you can draw a conclusion.
Tuna noodle hotdish is good. Hashbrown hotdish is heavenly.
