If using an oven, bake according to package directions until heated through, stirring halfway. For microwave preparation, cover and heat on high, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly hot. Ensure the meal is evenly heated before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, and the vegetables will become tender.
