If you are looking for a simple way to dress up your dinner, these cowboy mushrooms are the perfect solution. They are so easy to make with just two main ingredients, yet they bring a big punch of flavor to the table that usually steals the show.

I love serving these alongside a juicy steak or some roasted chicken. The garlic and herb butter makes everything taste better, and you can even spoon the extra butter over some creamy mashed potatoes for a real treat.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 16 ounces small button mushrooms, washed and stems trimmed
  • 1/2 cup cowboy butter

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the cowboy butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.

  3. 3

    Add the mushrooms to the butter and stir well so every piece is coated.

  4. 4

    Cook the mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and tender.

  5. 5

    Serve your mushrooms warm right out of the skillet.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or quickly warm them back up in a skillet. I do not recommend freezing this dish as the texture of the mushrooms will change.
