4.7 from 54 reviews

Cowboy Mushrooms is a hearty and flavorful mushroom dish cooked in a rich cowboy butter sauce. This recipe highlights tender white button mushrooms sautéed to golden perfection, making it a perfect savory side dish or accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

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

Cowboy Butter Sauce

  • Cowboy butter recipe*, doubled (a rich blend of butter, garlic, herbs, and spices)

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the doubled amount of cowboy butter to the pan.
  2. Add mushrooms: Once the butter has fully melted, add the cleaned white button mushrooms to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly with the cowboy butter.
  3. Sauté mushrooms: Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for about 20-22 minutes until they become tender and develop a nice golden brown color, absorbing the flavors of the butter and seasoning.
  4. Season and serve: Add salt to taste, give the mushrooms a final stir, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or topping.

Notes

  • The cowboy butter sauce typically contains garlic, herbs like parsley and chives, lemon juice, and spices; doubling the recipe ensures rich flavor for this dish.
  • Clean mushrooms gently with a damp cloth instead of rinsing under water to prevent sogginess.
  • Stir occasionally but not too frequently to allow mushrooms to brown properly.
  • This dish pairs excellently with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
