I regret to inform you that when my Indianapolis and Fort Wayne born and raised family moved to Michigan, people kept asking us if we were from the deep south.
Eta: you do have a point though about Southern Indiana
Indiana would like a word
THAT'S THE ONE 
Oh maybe, I thought it was referring to that article--an op ed piece maybe?--a couple months ago that was like, "Oh, so you're poor, huh? Have you considered simply eating less?"
You can do it 
Somebody find that article, I want to feel the rage boil my eyeballs again.
Yup! As far as I know (and I've lived in almost every Midwestern state), "hotdish" is a Minnesota-only thing. Everywhere else it's just casserole.
I'm not a Minnesotan
The Old Nothwest became known as the Midwest as the US expanded further westward. The heart of the Midwest is therefore Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This is objective fact. 
Iowa gets in on a corn and casserole-based technicality, but the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas are wheat-growing plains states. Missouri is the south.
Nevada isn't even in Tornado Alley! This is simply too far west.
