  • 2 pounds (about 2 packages, 16 ounces each) white button mushrooms, cleaned

Cowboy Butter

  • Cowboy butter recipe, doubled

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the doubled portion of cowboy butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
  2. Add mushrooms: Once the butter is melted, add the cleaned white button mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well to combine the mushrooms with the cowboy butter, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Cook mushrooms: Continue to cook the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking. Cook for about 20-22 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and develop a nice golden color on the outside.

Notes

  • Cowboy butter is a seasoned butter typically made with garlic, herbs, lemon, and spices; doubling it in this recipe intensifies the flavor.
  • Make sure mushrooms are cleaned properly but avoid soaking them as they can absorb water and become soggy.
  • For best results, use a large skillet to allow even cooking and avoid overcrowding the mushrooms.
  • This dish pairs well with steak, chicken, or as a topping for burgers.
