First heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat. Then add the beef and sauté it, making sure to stir sometimes, until it browns for about five minutes. Then add in the onions and the garlic and sauté, stirring continuously until the onions begin to brown.

Then combine the beef mixture, barbecue sauce, squash, parsnips, potatoes, and broth in the crock pot. Then cover it all and cook on a low heat until the beef and potatoes have cooked and are tender, this will take about eight or ten hours.
