Might not need 2 full hours of simmering. We’ve cheated on that and it tasted the same.
From Bob Sellig. I remembered this tradition and thought it was horrible. My Aunt Marion Kaczynski encouraged me to try this again. Aunt Marion was so glad to find this recipe in the original family cookbook that I just had to try it again because hey – when I was a kid coffee and alcohol were yucky too and these days I feel a little differently about those two “yucky” things. I love how this has Hamburg as an ingredient. It’s not a city in Germany or Chopped Meat. It’s Hamburg! And it makes really good hamburgers too.
