Whether you’re hosting a sit-down dinner or looking for an effortless side for your weekly steak night<\/a>, these slow-cooker mushrooms fit the bill. Simply pile fresh mushrooms, pearl onions and a flavorful blend of seasonings in your slow cooker<\/a>, then let it work its magic for six to eight hours.<\/p>\n Combined with a wine-infused broth, garlic and herbs, the humble mushroom transforms into something deeply flavorful and complex, making it a savory, saucy side for roasted meats or a brothy topping for spooning over mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n Place the mushrooms, thawed pearl onions and minced garlic into a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, red wine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, basil, thyme, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Using a high-quality dry red wine like merlot or cabernet sauvignon will deepen the flavor of these slow-cooker mushrooms.<\/p>\n Pour this mixture over the mushrooms and onions in the slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low for six to eight hours or until the mushrooms are tender.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Resist the urge to lift the lid and check on the mushrooms. Every time you open the slow cooker, heat escapes, which can extend the cooking time.<\/p>\n Allow the slow-cooker mushrooms to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze these slow-cooker mushrooms. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and store them for up to three months in the freezer. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.<\/p>\n Baby bella, white button and portobello mushrooms work well in slow-cooked dishes due to their meaty texture. Shiitake mushrooms or a mix of wild mushrooms can also add incredible umami<\/a> to the recipe.<\/p>\n Yes, you can keep this dish alcohol-free by swapping in additional beef broth for the red wine. These Crockpot mushrooms can develop a similar depth of flavor without the acidity of the wine.<\/p>\n While mushrooms are a fairly forgiving ingredient when it comes to slow-cooking, they can become mushy if they’re cooked too long. Stick to the recommended six to eight hours on low, and check for doneness at the six-hour mark if your slow cooker tends to run hot.<\/p>\n These slow-cooker mushrooms are the perfect accompaniment to a grilled steak<\/a> or a serving of roasted meat. You can also serve them alongside mashed potatoes<\/a>\u00a0or rice and a fresh side salad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s a healthy and delicious addition to any buffet spread.
