    In a large measuring cup or bowl, measure water and add gravy mix. Mix with fork or whisk and add to meatballs in the pan. Turn heat to low, cover and cook 35-40 minutes or until rice is cooked, stirring occasionally and adding additional 1/2 cup water gradually as needed if gravy becomes too thick.
