Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
• 2/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine ground beef, saltine cracker crumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, and ginger in a large bowl. Mix well. Shape beef mixture into rounded tablespoons (I used my cookie scoop).
• Bake meatballs on a foil-lined pan for 15 minutes.
• While meatballs are cooking, drain pineapple, reserving 3/4 cup of juice. Combine reserved juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, and soy sauce in a small mixing bowl and mix well.
• Pour the juice mixture into a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the cooked meatballs and pineapple chunks to the juice mixture, stirring occasionally until heated through.
