Ranch Mushrooms

Ranch Mushrooms are a rich, flavorful side dish or appetizer made with butter, white button mushrooms, and ranch seasoning mix. So good they can be served on their own! Then, freshly chopped parsley is added for a touch of freshness. If you love mushrooms, I also have Burgundy Mushrooms you will want to try, too!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Butter: Unsalted butter provides richness to the mushrooms. As it melts, it coats the mushrooms. Keep in mind that when first mixed with the mushrooms and ranch seasoning, it will look like a creamy sauce. But, as it continues to cook and the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates, it won’t look as creamy, just like melted butter in the skillet.

Mushrooms: White button mushrooms are the star of this dish. As they cook, they absorb the butter and ranch seasoning mix, resulting in flavorful, tender mushrooms. You could also use cremini, portobello, shiitake, or your favorite variety of mushrooms.

Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix: For all of that ranch flavor, you will add 2 packets of dry ranch seasoning mix, or about 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup). If you don’t have any on hand, make your own!

How To Store Ranch Mushrooms

To store leftover buttery ranch mushrooms, first, let them cool completely. (If the mushrooms have been left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, toss them.) Once cooled, store the mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be stored for up to 3-5 days. Reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop.
