Ingredients: This recipe was submitted by Marian Cobb with permission from her friend and neighbor Marilyn Gordon, who cooked it often for her children when they were growing up. Marian freezes portions for future use. This recipe has been around for a while. Neiman Marcus is still in business, but I'm not sure if they still have a restaurant. These cake recipes using boxed cake mixes are great, and so easy to make These really should be called Dick Castle's BBQ beans. He made them for the recent Eclipse party. They got rave reviews, and I was asked to print the recipe. You will note that the recipe feeds a crowd. You're on your own when it comes to cutting it down for a smaller group, although halving it shouldn't be too difficult. Hamburger Soup By Joyce Hansen
