SLOW COOKER RANCH MUSHROOMS
An easy appetizer for a party or gathering. No one will ever believe there are only three ingredients after experiencing the flavor punch. I leave the mushrooms whole rather than slicing them. Melt in your mouth delicious and will have people coming back for more! Easy, inexpensive, and everyone loves it. If you like, you can replace some of the butter with olive oil. I like to do half cremini and half white button mushrooms. From CD Kitchen.

Steps:
- Put mushrooms in a crock pot.
- Mix melted butter with ranch dressing mix. Pour over the mushrooms & cook on low 3 to 4 hours.
- The ranch and butter mixture will look like it will not coat all the mushrooms at first. Let them cook a little and the mushrooms will give off some juice. If not, add just a little water. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: Some mushrooms, like shiitake and cremini, hold their shape well in the slow cooker. Others, like oyster mushrooms, may become too soft.
- Sear the mushrooms before cooking: Searing the mushrooms adds flavor and helps to prevent them from releasing too much water.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The liquid you use to cook the mushrooms will infuse them with flavor. Try using broth, wine, or even coconut milk.
- Add aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, onions, and shallots add depth of flavor to the dish.
- Season the mushrooms well: Don't be afraid to season the mushrooms generously. Salt, pepper, and herbs are all good choices.
- Cook the mushrooms on low heat: Low heat is best for cooking mushrooms in the slow cooker. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
- Check the mushrooms regularly: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of mushrooms you are using. Check the mushrooms regularly to make sure they are cooked to your liking.
Conclusion:
Cooking mushrooms in a slow cooker is a great way to achieve tender, flavorful results. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious way to cook mushrooms, give the slow cooker a try.
