Hoisin-Garlic Mushrooms & Pepper

Easy and tasty!

Ingredients
½ C hoisin sauce
2 T minced garlic*
¼ t crushed red pepper (or more if you like it hot)
24 oz whole fresh button or baby bella mushrooms
1 sweet red bell pepper

* That's about 6 cloves; or...I buy a jar of preminced garlic - saves time (and smelly fingers!) and still has very good flavor.

Directions
Trim dry ends off mushrooms; I cut the largest ones in half, but you can leave them all whole if you like. Cut bell pepper into large chunks; discard stem and seeds.

In crock pot/slow cooker, stir together hoison sauce, garlic and crushed red pepper. Add mushrooms and bell pepper chunks, stirring to coat with sauce.

Cover. Cook 2½-3 hours on high (or 5-6 hours on low). Use a slotted spoon to remove mushrooms and pepper chunks.

Serve...
...with decorative toothpicks as an appetizer
...over rice, polenta, quinoa, etc as a side dish
