Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned and trimmed

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried thyme)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for extra umami)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them quickly under cold water and pat drying. Cut larger mushrooms in halves or quarters for even cooking.

    Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce (if using). Stir well to combine all the flavors.

      Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the cleaned mushrooms in the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms and stir gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.

        Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 3-4 hours. If you’re in a hurry, you can set it on high for about 1.5 to 2 hours. The mushrooms should be tender and infused with flavor.

          Finish and Serve: Once cooked, give the mushrooms a good stir and taste; adjust salt and pepper as needed. Transfer the garlic butter mushrooms to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, and serve warm.
