SLOW COOKER RANCH MUSHROOMS



Slow Cooker Ranch Mushrooms image

An easy appetizer for a party or gathering. No one will ever believe there are only three ingredients after experiencing the flavor punch. I leave the mushrooms whole rather than slicing them. Melt in your mouth delicious and will have people coming back for more! Easy, inexpensive, and everyone loves it. If you like, you can replace some of the butter with olive oil. I like to do half cremini and half white button mushrooms. From CD Kitchen.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb fresh mushrooms (cremini or white button mushrooms)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix

Steps:

  • Put mushrooms in a crock pot.
  • Mix melted butter with ranch dressing mix. Pour over the mushrooms & cook on low 3 to 4 hours.
  • The ranch and butter mixture will look like it will not coat all the mushrooms at first. Let them cook a little and the mushrooms will give off some juice. If not, add just a little water. Enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will have a more intense flavor and will be more tender than canned mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown. This will result in a less flavorful dip.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are golden brown. This will help to develop their flavor and give the dip a more complex taste.
  • Use a good quality ranch dressing mix. The ranch dressing mix is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a mix that is made with real buttermilk and spices.
  • Don't overmix the dip. Overmixing the dip will make it thin and watery. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Serve the dip immediately. The dip is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or a hearty party dip, this Ranch Mushroom Dip is sure to please. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're in need of a delicious and easy dip, give this recipe a try.
