What Sets These Garlic Mushrooms Apart?
Mushrooms are one of my all-time favorite vegetables. I love their versatility and their ability to soak up all the flavors they’re cooked with, their earthy taste, and subtly crunchy texture. Normally , garlic mushrooms are cooked in butter and garlic. However, I’ve added a savory twist by incorporating thyme and parsley . Trust me , the extra ingredients take this recipe to a whole new level! An extra kick of flavor never hurt anyone, and it’s pure symphony when served alongside a Steakhouse steak !
Buttery Garlic Mushrooms: Key Ingredients
The secret to this Garlic Mushroom recipe lies in its key ingredients. Each one brings something special to create a delightful, flavorful dish with the perfect balance of textures and tastes. Let’s dive into what makes this recipe truly exceptional.
- Mushrooms : For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh button or cremini mushrooms. Look for mushrooms that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes. Avoid any that feel slimy or have dark spots. Wipe them clean with a damp cloth rather than rinsing to prevent them from absorbing excess water.
- Thyme : Fresh thyme leaves add an aromatic depth to the dish. When buying fresh thyme, look for vibrant green leaves that are not wilted. If fresh thyme is unavailable, dried thyme can be a suitable substitute, but use half the amount to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Parsley : Fresh parsley adds a burst of freshness and color. Opt for bright green leaves without yellowing or wilting. Flat-leaf parsley has a more robust flavor compared to curly parsley. Chop it finely just before using to retain its vibrant flavor and aroma.
- Garlic Butter : Quality garlic butter is essential for a rich, savory flavor. Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish, and choose fresh garlic cloves for the best taste. Mince the garlic finely to ensure it evenly coats the mushrooms. You can make your own Garlic Butter by mixing softened butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
- Note: Please see Recipe Card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Additions And Substitutions
When it comes to garlic mushrooms, flexibility is key . Even if you don’t have every ingredient on hand, don’t worry—there are plenty of delicious alternatives that will keep the flavors rich and satisfying.
- Garlic Variation : If you’re a garlic lover, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the dish. Roasted garlic adds a sweeter, deeper flavor that elevates the dish.
- Cheese Upgrade : For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or a touch of crumbled blue cheese just before serving. The cheese will melt slightly, adding a creamy, savory note.
- Mushroom Mix : Instead of sticking to just button or cremini mushrooms, try a mix of different types such as shiitake, oyster, or portobello. The variety of textures and flavors can make the dish even more interesting.
- Add a Kick : If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the garlic butter. It adds a subtle, spicy kick that pairs beautifully with the earthy mushrooms.

Store any leftover garlic mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Okay, can we all agree that Taco Tuesday is literally the best night of the week?! It’s my go-to for a fun, easy dinner that I know everyone will love. And since this year’s National Taco Day is happening on a Tuesday (Oct 7th!), we are going ALL out!
I’ve gathered my absolute best, most-loved Taco Tuesday ideas to make your next taco night a total knockout. We are not the only ones crazy about Taco Tuesday Old El Paso is declaring October 7 “ National Taco Day-Off ” and giving you a chance to win a trip to a Cowboy Ranch.
How to Make The Quickest Tacos
I know weeknights are crazy! You want an amazing Taco Tuesday, but you need it FAST. These are my secret weapons for getting delicious tacos on the table in under 30 minutes.
- Prep Ahead: Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in the morning or the night before. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you just have to set them out!
- Use Smart Shortcuts: Don’t be afraid to use pre-shredded cheese, a bag of slaw mix, or a good quality store-bought pico de gallo or guacamole to save time. You can find pico de gallo in the refrigerated section, I love the one from Trader Joe’s . It’s known for being consistently fresh, chunky, and having a great flavor. My biggest tip for any store-bought pico is to drain off any extra liquid at the bottom of the container and give it a stir. If you want to make it taste homemade, add a quick squeeze of fresh lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. It makes all the difference!
- Cook The Meat in Batches: I love to cook a double batch of taco meat on Sunday. I use half for dinner that night and save the other half for Tuesday. It reheats in minutes and its good to store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
What to stuff in a Perfect Taco?
Building the perfect taco is an art, and it’s all about the layers! Here’s my guide to the essential components.
- The Tortilla: Choose your base! Flour tortillas are soft and pliable, great for over-stuffed tacos these are my personal favourite, I use the Tortilla Land uncooked flour tortillas. You find them in the refrigerated section and cook them in a hot pan for about 30 seconds per side. They puff up and taste incredible. Corn tortillas offer an authentic, slightly sweet flavor and are amazing when quickly charred on a gas stove or in a hot pan. Hard Shells give you that classic, satisfying crunch.
- The Protein: While the recipes below give you tons of options, don’t be afraid to mix it up! Pick from seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, spicy chorizo, or black beans for a great veggie option.
- The Toppings (The Best Part!): Get creative with a taco bar! Set out bowls of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole!
