Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by setting your slow cooker to the low setting, ensuring it’s ready to cook the mushrooms slowly.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium-sized skillet, heat over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, then incorporate the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant but avoid browning it to maintain a fresh flavor.

      Add the Seasonings: Once the garlic is fragrant, carefully stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the garlic-butter mixture.

        Combine with Mushrooms: In the slow cooker, place the cleaned baby bella mushrooms. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms, ensuring each mushroom is generously coated for maximum flavor.

          Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic. Cook the mushrooms on low for about 4 hours or until they are tender and have absorbed the delightful flavors of the garlic butter mixture.

            Finish with Lemon: After the cooking time is complete, squeeze the juice of one lemon evenly over the mushrooms. Gently stir to incorporate the bright, tangy flavor into the dish.

              Garnish and Serve: Carefully transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delectable side dish, over pasta, or as an exquisite topping on steak.
