This mixture is then simmered on the stovetop until it thickens to your desired consistency. You can also add other ingredients like ground meat, onions, or peppers to customize the sauce further. For other applications, the dry mix can be stirred into ground meat before cooking, sprinkled over vegetables before roasting, or added to broths for soups.
