Get plump deliciousness of mushrooms with this slow cooker recipe

Print this recipe
One of my favorite things about going to a steakhouse is the side of garlicky mushrooms. Scratch that. It's not one of my favorite things. It's the best thing. And yes, I'm including the steak in that. They're just so plump and juicy, and absolutely delicious. And now, you don't have to lay all that cash down to have them. As you can see in the recipe below, they can cook right in your slow cooker.
This recipe couldn't be easier. In fact, if you think like me, the most labor-intensive part is cleaning the mushrooms. Then it all just goes into the slow cooker and cooks away. To really get the plump deliciousness of the mushrooms, you will need to add a dash of cream and a bit of butter at the end. But you just need to let those melt together and then your mushrooms are ready. No steakhouse required.
