Secret ingredient baked garlic mushrooms

Juicy, savoury, succulent and packed with wonderful flavour, these baked garlic mushrooms are easy to make, and their secret ingredient will make sure they become a family favourite!

We get a weekly organic vegetable box delivery, and it almost always has mushrooms in it. Which is fine, because we like mushrooms and I throw them into all sorts of things. 

But occasionally I’ll also buy extra mushrooms. And then forget that I bought them and maybe get some more… And suddenly there’s a significant stockpile of mushrooms in the fridge that need dealing with as a matter of some urgency. (I’m sure I’m not alone in doing this, right?)

When that happens, and the mushroom situation start to get out of hand, I turn to my trusty, always-a-winner, secret-ingredient baked garlic mushrooms recipe.

Lifesaver Recipes

Do you have any recipes that are real lifesavers? This garlic mushrooms recipe is one of mine. It’s super easy and quick to prepare, and thanks to a simple (secret!) ingredient, the results are outstanding. I love it!

Fortunately DH and Kipper are very fond of these garlic mushrooms too, so I know that I can whip this up and not only work through the mushroom backlog but also make a dinner that everyone will love. Win win!

All you really need is mushrooms, garlic, and oil or butter, but to make them really fantastic I like to add a few extra flavours too. That’s why I call these ‘secret ingredient’ garlic mushrooms.

Worcestershire sauce!

You’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes to the finished mushrooms. I mean, garlic mushrooms are good, but this simple addition elevates them to something I can serve as a main dish and have everyone asking why I didn’t make more of them!
