Ingredients

16 ounces frozen peas and carrots
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized skillet.

If desired, add extra salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To speed up the cooking time, you can thaw the frozen vegetables beforehand. This can be done either by running the vegetables under warm water until completely thawed, or by placing them in the refrigerator at least 8 hours in advance.
