    Crockpot Buttered Garlic Mushrooms

    These garlic mushrooms are so easy to make in the Crockpot or slow cooker. You can just throw them in and forget about them. If you are looking for recipes for easy side dishes that don't need the oven or stove top then these garlic butter mushrooms are for you.

    what dish filled with cooked mushrooms garnished with parsley

    Mushrooms aren't always the prettiest of veg! But I think these crockpot mushrooms look amazing! Plus they are so simple AND you can adapt them into creamy garlic mushrooms. Which would be a great starter/appetizer. Or serve them with your grilled steak for a no fuss simple side.

    Plus I think they work wonderfully as part of a big roast, if you are serving a rib of beef this holiday season then how perfect would these Crockpot Buttered Garlic Mushrooms be?

    Can you cook mushrooms in the crockpot or slow cooker.

    You sure can, and it is so simple! Just 5 ingredients! (see full recipe at end of post)

    • mushrooms
    • melted butter
    • garlic
    • Italian seasoning
    • salt

    They all get mixed together and tipped into a crockpot. After 3 hours you have perfectly cooked mushrooms that need nothing more than the seasoning checking. (and maybe a garnish of parsley to look pretty)

    That is it!!! There is no need to add any liquid, the mushrooms will produce their own. In fact thereΒ will be quite a lot of liquid at the bottom of the crockpot when they are cooked.

    Don't worry. You can just remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and leave the liquid behind. It is packed with flavor so pour it into a jug and try cooking your rice in it next time you make dinner! SOOO GOOD.

    How can I make these into creamy garlic mushrooms?

    To turn these mushrooms into creamy garlic mushrooms mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to the mushrooms after 2 hours.

    Let it cook for a further 30 minutes then add in half of cup of heavy cream and cook for the final 30 minutes. The mushrooms will be rich and creamy and the sauce will have thickened.

    Which mushrooms to use for garlic mushrooms?

    I like to use beech mushrooms for this dish. Mostly because I just love eating them whole. The smaller the better. I don't know why it just makes me smile! (Look at the super cute small one in the picture below. I ate that one as soon as I took the photo!)

    But you can use any small to medium mushrooms you like. Baby Bellas, Button mushrooms,  beech mushrooms, brown mushrooms or chestnut mushrooms. They all work well.

    Don't use the large field mushrooms, I have tried it and they go very soggy in the slow cooker.

        I have never had much luck at freezing mushrooms, they always end up black and soggy.
        Sorry

      Hello! If I double the recipe, how will that affect the time in the crockpot?

        The time should be the same for doubling the recipe. Hope that helps πŸ™‚

      Can you slice the mushrooms before adding them to the crock pot?

        Hi Kyla,
        If you have larger mushrooms then you can definitely slice them first. You might find they give off a little more water this way, but the recipe will still work well.

      Has anyone added onion to this recipe? Did it taste great?

        I haven't tried it Dev, but I think some lightly sautΓ©ed onions would be a great addition. I can decide if adding them raw will make the garlic butter taste too oniony or if it will just add a wonderful savouriness to the dish.

      I have 10 people coming for a dinner party on Saturday... should I double the recipe ?

        Hi Shawna,

        I would probably say yes, but I guess it depends what are you serving this with?
        Although the recipe says 4 servings, that is a the main side dish. If it is part of a bigger meal then this should easily serve 6.
        You can easily change the servings on the recipe, just click in the servings box and you can type any number you like in there. Depending on what you are serving, I would say go up to 6 or 8 servings on the recipe card.

        Do let me know what else is on the menu and we can work it out πŸ˜€

      These are FANTASTIC! I didn’t use crockpot- After I combined all ingredients in skillet, stirred to coat mushrooms (about 15 minutes)- I simmered covered with all ingredients for 30 minutes then put in covered casserole dish in 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. I also added shredded Parmesan cheese .
