Ingredients:

How To Make Slow Cooker Church Supper Spaghetti:

1. Step 1: Brown the Meat and Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.
2. Step 2: Combine in Slow Cooker: 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.
3. Step 3: Slow Cook the Sauce: Stir to combine all the ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
4. Step 4: Cook and Add Pasta: About 20-30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the slow cooker, mixing well to ensure the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
5. Step 5: Finish and Serve: Allow the spaghetti to sit in the slow cooker for another 10 minutes to absorb the flavors, then serve hot.
