Minnesotan here. Minnesota is in the midwest if that's the question you're asking. Minnesota is chock full of proud northerners who have nothing to do with the midwest if you're asking that question instead.
One thing I can say about Minnesotans is that we're culturally odd.
We'll take care of eachother, but don't expect pleasant hellos and conversations with anyone. There are a lot of people that hunt, not a lot of people that hunt well or frequently. The Mall of America isn't as awesome as when you were a kid. The death of Prince was a State Tragedy. To outsiders, no, Minnesota does not consist of Duluth, the Twin Cities, and snow filled cornfields. Yes it's too damn cold. Yes it's too damn warm for this time of the year. No we won't quit complaining either way. Say yes to lefsa. Always safe with a caserol at a dinner party.
Never state something in a way that conveys your opinion or feelings too strong. That's rude. Never stand too close to or facing straight towards people in a conversation. That's rude. Don't get too involved. That's rude.
Do smile and raise a hand when you see someone you might know, or someone who does it to you regardless if you can identify them or not.
Skol!
Edit: So I asked my brother, and while he too was aware of hotdish being the correct entrée for a combination of ingredients baked in a pan, he also defaults to caserol. I think it's because our parents and extended family do not live here. For those confused, tater tot hotdish != tater tot caserol

I've never been so offended by something absolutely correct. My shotgun that I haven't used in a decade and the 0 deer I killed with it are upset now.
caserol
Minnesotan card revoked
Got me there. It actually caused a few fights in my former marriage, geen bean caserol is not in any way similar to green bean hotdish.

You ARE too good for a free banana though..
a caserol
Gotta call it a hot dish, or people will look at you weird.
Mall of America is even MORE awesome now that no one can stop me from buying out the entire Lego store!
but it no longer has a Microsoft store, which was the 2nd best place to nerd out after the Lego store
Wasn't there also a board game store? I hope the pandemic didn't kill that off.
Pandemic was actually pretty good for most board game stores, as people needed something to do at home.

Imposter! A true Minnesotan would know you bring hotdish. Casserole is a Southern dish.
Edit: Also, WTF is up with "caserol" instead of casserole?
i can't spell anything for too shits
I wave to every single person I see when out for my run regardless of whether I know them
