Notes

  • You can substitute white button mushrooms with cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper flavor.
  • Ensure mushrooms are cleaned but not soaked in water to prevent sogginess.
  • Adjust seasoning in the cowboy butter to your preferred spice level.
  • This dish is best served hot as a side with grilled meats or vegetables.
