Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 2 pounds white button mushrooms (about 2 packages, 16 ounces each), cleaned
Cowboy Butter
- 1 batch cowboy butter recipe, doubled (a blend of butter, garlic, herbs, and spices)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter: Double the cowboy butter recipe to ensure enough flavorful butter is available for sautéing the mushrooms. This butter typically includes a mix of garlic, herbs, and spices blended with softened butter.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the prepared cowboy butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, releasing its aromatic flavors.
- Add the Mushrooms: Once the butter has melted, add the cleaned white button mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly with the cowboy butter.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Sauté the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally to cook them evenly. Continue cooking for about 20 to 22 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and develop a nice golden-brown color.
- Season and Serve: Season the cooked mushrooms with salt to taste. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish to complement your main meal.
Notes
- Ensure mushrooms are cleaned thoroughly but not soaked in water to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust the amount of cowboy butter according to taste preference and mushroom quantity.
- Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding, which ensures even cooking and browning.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
