Make this recipe with Ranch or Italian Seasoning
My neice had posted a recipe on Face Book and my daughter wanted to make the mushroom recipe. I looked at the recipe and told her, that’s not the recipe for the crockpot mushrooms.
Time Tested Mushroom Recipe
I had been making savory slow cooker mushrooms for well over 20 years and I quickly rattled off the recipe that I made. Well, she tried the recipe from Face Book and it was not very good. WAY too much butter and seasoning for the amount of mushrooms.
We had a mushroom cook-off
My daughter wasn’t giving up on the new mushroom recipe.
She still wanted to try making the recipe. I told her my recipe and she used a packet of ranch dressing mix powder instead of the italian dressing seasoning I use. Here are some photos of the results.

Mushroom Serving Suggestions
Serving a large crowd
Leave the mushrooms right in the slow cooker to stay warm. Let the guests serve themselves as an appetizer or side dish.
Serving with a meal
Serve the buttery and savory sauce with the mushrooms over a steak or chicken. What a great sauce to compliment the meat.
I have also used the savory mushrooms added to pasta with cut up chicken, pork, or steak cut up. Very tasty all by itself.
Finding the seasoning packets
Some people may not be familiar with the Italian or ranch seasoning packets. Here is a link to each so you know what I am talking about. You can certainly find them in your local grocery store.
Types of Mushrooms for this Recipe
