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: Begin by carefully cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe them clean, or give them a quick rinse under cold water followed by a thorough pat dry. For larger mushrooms, slice them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

    Mix the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce (if you choose to use it). Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the flavors meld together.

      Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Transfer the cleaned mushrooms into your slow cooker. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the top, ensuring all mushrooms are well-coated. Gently stir with a spatula to evenly distribute the sauce over the mushrooms.

        Slow Cook: Secure the cover on your slow cooker and set the heat to low. Allow the mushrooms to cook for 3 to 4 hours, until they are tender and infused with fragrant flavors. If you're pressed for time, set to high for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

          Finish and Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, give the mushrooms a final stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Move the garlic butter mushrooms to a serving dish, and generously sprinkle with fresh parsley for a vibrant garnish. Serve warm and enjoy the savory goodness!
