slow cooker garlic herb sautéed mushrooms

Step 3: Combine Everything in the Slow Cooker

Place the prepared mushrooms into your slow cooker. Pour the garlic herb mixture over them, then add the ¼ cup of broth. Gently toss everything so that the mushrooms are coated thoroughly with the butter mixture.

Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on:

• Low for 3 to 4 hours, or
• High for about 1½ to 2 hours

As they cook, the mushrooms will release their juices and soak up the garlicky, herby butter. The result will be tender, flavorful mushrooms swimming in a rich, aromatic sauce.

Step 5: Add a Finishing Touch

Once the mushrooms are done, stir in a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This brightens the flavors and cuts through the richness. If desired, sprinkle some fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top for an elegant finish.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

🌿 Tips for Success

• Don’t overcrowd the slow cooker. If you’re making a larger batch, cook in two rounds to ensure even flavor absorption.
• Use fresh herbs if available—they’ll intensify the aroma.
• For a creamy variation, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or heavy cream in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• If you like extra depth, add a dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the broth.
