Let cool. If it is still too thin return to heat and add 1 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp water in a cup. stir and add to sauce until thickened the way you want it to be.\n\nOf course you can double recipe. This works great with chicken or pork! You can use it for a basting sauce for chicken or pork ribs. \nI often saute pork or chicken cut into 1" pieces coated with corn starch until brown and no longer pink when you poke it with a fork.. Remove and saute favorite veggies, add meat , mix it up and then add some sauce. So easy! (If I coat meat pieces with cornstarch coating adding cornstarch to the sauce in the beginning is usually not necessary.) Veggies I usually use are onions, bell peppers, broccoli. Sometimes I add pineapple chunks and chopped tomatoes. just my preference...This is great over rice or noodles and so quick to put together!

The way the ground beef is seasoned in this recipe makes it taste very good, and I always use fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushrooms. Definitely a keeper!","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"10\/30\/2019 14:38","GUID":"7213B239CDFA4966A4254A9571881708","MemberId":479561,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Mistra1980","SubmittedDate":"10\/30\/2019 14:38"},{"Comment":"This is to the individual who has a problem printing the recipes.

Why must you print twice to get ingredients then directions and they're always covered with ad prints or comments. Site used to be so much better. I'll get recipes elsewhere. I don't have the paper to waste<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6B26287D903B4247AB5594EB12F395E9","MemberId":1915059,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"1memaw","SubmittedDate":"10\/19\/2017 18:50"},{"Comment":"
This recipe was very easy to prepare! It was a little sweeter than my husband and I preferred, but I will definitely try it again with less sugar.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"05\/04\/2017 07:08","GUID":"b8cf32be267e4395ad965c5221ff1b71","MemberId":1473861,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"sgronholz","SubmittedDate":"05\/04\/2017 07:08"},{"Comment":"
Very good recipe but as someone else noted it was very sweet. I would make it again but would cut back on the sugar somewhat next time.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/13\/2016 10:06","GUID":"8b45ab750173464a8e3f246dcc9d28ea","MemberId":6818678,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"tamstrat","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2016 10:06"},{"Comment":"

We loved this dish in our house and everybody came back for seconds. I made a bit more than the recipe suggested so there were leftovers that reheated great.<\/p>
The only problem we had was that one person got heartburn from all the sugar so we won't be able to have it again. But other than that, it was great!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"04\/18\/2015 19:16","GUID":"540b6fa823a342a7ade2b0dbea44a9fa","MemberId":8321740,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"JoanneBoyko","SubmittedDate":"04\/18\/2015 19:16"},{"Comment":"
