Ingredients
  

2 pounds of fresh mushrooms (e.g., cremini or button), cleaned and halved

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned and halved mushrooms with the melted butter. Toss the mushrooms until they are fully coated.

    Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the garlic and seasoning mixture over the butter-coated mushrooms. Stir gently to ensure all the mushrooms are evenly seasoned.

        Slow Cook: Transfer the mushroom mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally, if possible.

          Check for Doneness: The mushrooms should be tender and juicy. Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

            Serve: Carefully transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Drizzle any leftover liquid from the slow cooker over the top for extra flavor.

              Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these delicious garlic butter mushrooms as a side dish or as a topping for steak, pasta, or toasted bread!
