Notes

  • When Barbara gave me her recipe, she made sure to mention that the mushrooms need to be very dry before they go into the Crock Pot. Do not wash them under water. Instead, wipe off any dirt with a damp cloth or paper towel, and then pat them dry. This prevents soggy mushrooms at the end.
  • You do not need to trim off the stems (they will be tender when cooked), but you can certainly cut them off before adding the mushrooms to the Crock Pot if that's your preference.
  • You'll know the mushrooms are done when they turn a darker, golden brown color and are fork-tender.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, basil, or thyme) for bright flavor and color. Grated Parmesan cheese would also be tasty.
  • One pound of mushrooms will serve about 4-6 people. They look like a lot of volume when they're raw, but mushrooms shrink considerably when cooked! If you're serving a larger group, you'll likely want to double or triple the recipe.
