"Living on a cattle ranch in the Dakotas, there are many times that I needed to cook for not only our immediate family, but other people that were helping out with various cattle work. Cheeseburger Soup is a dish that had everyone coming back for a second bowl and often requesting to take home leftovers!" - Mason Moran
