Oopsy, you missed it! But that's ok 'cause we're here to help! The instructions for how to use the mix are above under the section that says "Notes." Here they are, "To use this gravy mix to make gravy, in a medium sized skillet or saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons margarine. Stir 1/4 cup of Gravy Mix into margarine; cook and stir until golden brown. Add 1-3/4 cup water, then cook and stir until thickened and all the bouillon is dissolved."
