These Buttery Slow Cooker Herbed Mushrooms and Onions are a great topping for burgers, a must for summer barbecues!
This recipe I planned to make while we were camping last week. But silly me I forgot my big slow cooker, I have a 1.5-quart slow cooker in our trailer, and that thing won’t fit much. I made this as soon as we got home so the ingredients wouldn’t go to waste.
We had a great time camping in Florence, Oregon. We went camping on the bay, our campsite even had a view of the bay. We went crabbing and caught two keepers, I made crab melts with the meat. We also flew our kites, went on go-carts and went to the aquarium. It was one of the best vacations I’ve had, and it is only an hour from our house!
I got this recipe idea from a family reunion where my cousin who went to culinary school made a topping like this on his flat-top grill. Though he probably wouldn’t be caught dead using a slow cooker, I love easy and threw his recipe in the crockpot. Turns out great and feeds a crowd. I don’t know how many barbecues I go to each year and the burger toppings are always the same. These Slow Cooker Herbed Mushroom and Onions are an easy way to spruce up regular burgers.
