Number Of Ingredients 13

5 teaspoons beef bouillon granules, divided
¼ cup boiling water
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup minced onion
1 egg
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:
