Instant Pot Church Supper Spaghetti—A colorful spaghetti dish that feeds a crowd! Perfect for a large family or for a church potluck dinner.
Instant Pot Church Supper Spaghetti
I saw a recipe for church supper spaghetti on Taste of Home and thought it sounded fun. The author of the original recipe said, “Because this recipe feeds so many, I often take it to church dinners and potlucks. This colorful dish also comes in handy when we have lots of help to feed on our farm.”
I changed a few things including increasing the seasonings, using fire roasted tomatoes instead of plain diced tomatoes and of course making it in the Instant Pot instead of on the stove and in the oven. The result was a recipe that my kids adored. We were all happy it made lots of leftovers so that we could have it again the next night.
This really is one of those recipes that you can add and subtract ingredients depending on your tastes and what you have at home. Don’t have a bag of mixed veggies? Add in a bag of peas. Don’t have fresh mushrooms? Use a couple of cans of mushrooms. Don’t have spaghetti? Use egg noodles. Don’t have cheddar? Try a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
This recipe does make quite a bit! In fact my 6 quart pot was almost full before I started pressure cooking. It makes probably at least 8 servings. Maybe more if you’re not a huge eater. You can freeze the leftovers in an airtight container* and have for another meal. Or you can halve the recipe. Keep the same cooking time and just halve all the ingredients.
I hope you get a chance to try Instant Pot church supper spaghetti soon! I know you’ll love it!

- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 minute (plus 10 minute NPR)
- Total Time: 21 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Description
A colorful spaghetti dish that feeds a crowd! Perfect for a large family or to share at a church potluck dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3 cups beef broth
- 12 oz uncooked spaghetti (whole wheat is okay)
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 (12 oz) bag mixed veggies
- 1 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes
- 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
- 1 diced green pepper
- 2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Pour the broth into the pot and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Break the spaghetti in half and scatter it in a criss cross pattern into the pot. It won’t all be under the liquid and that is okay.
- Dump the mushrooms on top of the spaghetti. Add mixed veggies on top of mushrooms. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce on top of veggies. Finally add in the green peppers, chili powder and garlic salt. Do not stir.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Stir contents of pot well. Stir in the cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can also use the 8 quart pot with no changes. For the 3 quart pot, half the recipe and keep the same cooking time.

So does this taste more like chili instead of spagetti because of the 2 tbs of chili powder?
Not really like chili but definitely has a little bit of that flare
Hello, I am trying this recipe for the first time, and when I put it on for 1 minute, I opened the lid but nothing was even cooked, what did I do wrong?
Thank you
Melrose
Did the pot come to pressure?
I put it on 1 minute as mentioned and it beeped I opened once the pressure button dropped but it looked like it did nothing.
I started over and put it on 10 minutes (thinking I read wrong) and it worked.
Thank you
Not sure what happened
Love your recipes, I even sent them to my cousin in Europe
I’m glad you got it to work! I am not sure what went wrong initially either!
Thank you anyway, love your recipes
Hi Karen ,
DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE JUST FOR SPAGHETTI IN INSTANT POT AND CAN I USE ANY SPAGHETTI WHEN I MAKE IT.
Thank you,
Doris
I don’t have a recipe for plain spaghetti. But you could make it by using 1 3/4 cups water/broth per 8 oz of spagehtti and then add the sauce on top. And you can use any spaghetti. I would pressure cook for 3-4 minutes.
Has anyone tried gluten-free noodles in the Instant pot I’m wondering what I should do for a time adjustment?
I love this site !! Thanks 4 all y’alls help. There is so many things you can do to make life much more easier… Keep up the awesome work cookiers have a mighty blessed day .
Thanks so much Paula. I’m glad you are finding value here!
I’m new to the Instant Pot, so I did something unusual and followed the directions more or less precisely. My only variations were bone broth instead of regular broth, using Banza chickpea pasta, which I love, and using 1 cup rather than 2 cups of cheese. I assembled everything per instructions, and it came out great! We loved it.

Yay!!! Good work 👏

Hi Karan. My wife says it’s to be Keto Diet for her for a while, FOR HER — but not for me. For me , most of my meals are made with the instant pot. Tonight I will make a salad to go along with the Instant Pot Church Supper Spaghetti, I did invite some friends over to help eat and watch some football.
I will also give the Instant Pot Keto Chocolate cake a try. I sure do appreciate the Instant Pot Keto recipes in your last letter.
I made the cake first, and then the spaghetti — both turned out perfect. My wife and I are both waiting anxiously (Daily) for your next Instant Pot cooking nugget — now she looks for the next Instant Pot Keto Diet recipe. Thank you for everything.
Thanks Jim Bob! Good work on cooking and helping out your wife. I couldn’t do that diet for one day!!!
Hi Karen, This recipe sounds so good. I think the addition of the veggies is a great idea, who would have thought. And I like the fact that it makes a lot. I will be trying this. And I will freeze half of it for another time. You are so wonderful with the Instant Pot/Crock Pot. Amazing with recipes you come up with. Thank you so much Karen for all that you do for us….. Email hugs. Claudia
Hugs to you as well Claudia!
Can this be frozen?
Yes I think it will freeze great!
Thank you. I will try this recipe
Is this recipe in your new cookbook? I would love it if you could say what page it is on if it is.
