This is my signature dish for church suppers, and my friends at church absolutely rave about it. Full recipe 👇 💬

Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti is a delightful dish that brings a sense of community straight to your dinner table.

Originating from traditional American church suppers where the congregation would gather to share hearty and comforting meals, this spaghetti recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd with minimal effort.

This dish simmers slowly, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully, ensuring that each bite is packed with warmth and richness. It’s an excellent choice for busy families or anyone looking to recreate a nostalgic, communal dining experience at home.

This Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti pairs wonderfully with a crisp, fresh salad, such as a classic Caesar or a simple mixed green salad with a tangy vinaigrette. Garlic bread or warm, crusty rolls are also perfect for soaking up the rich tomato sauce.

For a touch of extra comfort, consider serving with a side of sautéed green beans or steamed broccoli. Don’t forget to finish off with a light dessert, like a lemon sorbet or vanilla panna cotta, to cleanse the palate after this hearty meal.

Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti
Servings: 8-10 servings

Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine (optional)
1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound spaghetti
Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.

3. Transfer the beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, red wine (if using), sugar, basil, oregano, parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

4. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
5. About 20-30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.

6. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the slow cooker, mixing well to ensure the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
7. Allow the spaghetti to sit in the slow cooker for another 10 minutes to absorb the flavors, then serve hot.

Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian twist, substitute the ground beef with a mixture of diced vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms, or use a plant-based meat alternative. You can also add a splash of cream or a handful of grated Parmesan cheese towards the end of cooking for a richer sauce. If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta instead of traditional spaghetti.

MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED THAT I WAS RESTING TOO MUCH AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM OF 4, SO WE SWITCHED PLACES FOR A FEW DAYS For the past 10 years, I’ve been fully devoted to childcare. I used to dream about having a big career, but now I’m a proud mom of 4. Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids, but the exhaustion is REAL. Any mom will understand—it’s a full-time job. My husband, Henry, and I had an agreement: he provides, and I handle the house and kids. That was the deal, and I never complained. But lately, Henry’s been making more and more comments about how I “DO NOTHING ALL DAY” and how “LAZY” I am. The final straw? I asked him to grab something from the top shelf, and he blew up, yelling about being the sole breadwinner and how tired he was while I just “relax” at home. I was stunned. So, I calmly suggested we switch places for a few days—he’d stay home as the “housewife,” and I’d go to his office. 👇
