Ingredients
- 1½ to 2 pounds whole mushrooms (button or cremini)
- ½ cup butter, sliced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and trim the stems if needed.
- Place the mushrooms into the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the mushrooms.
- Add the sliced butter on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 1½–2 hours, stirring once halfway through if possible.
- Serve warm once the mushrooms are tender and coated in garlic butter sauce.
Description
These slow cooker garlic butter mushrooms are juicy, savory, and bursting with flavor.
As they cook, the mushrooms release their natural juices, blending with melted butter and garlic
to create a rich, silky sauce. The result is a comforting dish that pairs beautifully with steak,
chicken, pasta, or toasted bread.
Tips
- Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper, earthier flavor.
- For extra richness, stir once near the end to coat mushrooms evenly.
- Add a pinch of salt or black pepper after cooking if desired.
- Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but garlic paste can work in a pinch.
Correction
- Avoid washing mushrooms under running water; they absorb moisture and become soggy.
- Do not overcook on HIGH, as mushrooms may become too soft.
- If the sauce seems thin, remove the lid for the last 15 minutes to allow slight reduction.
Enjoy
Enjoy these buttery garlic mushrooms as a simple side dish, a topping for steaks,
or even spooned over rice or mashed potatoes. This 3-ingredient recipe proves that
simple cooking can still be incredibly delicious!
