The original recipe calls for using 1/3 C mix & 1 C water, but I found that it didn’t get quite thick enough. I also make it in the microwave. I use my 2 C pyrex measuring cup, and cook for 1 min. stir, repeat until thickened. It will thicken as it sits also. It usually takes about 3-4 minutes cooking time. I usually start first, that way, by the time you need it, it has thickened nicely. I have two jars mixed up in my pantry one for beef & one for chicken.
