Beef, Acorn Squash and Potato Crock Pot

I just discovered this on another website (author unknown). While I liked the idea of adding acorn squash (you could sub carrots), it was the allspice that made me want to try this recipe. When I make it, I think I will use butternut and I might double the allspice once I can see the volume of the combined ingredients.
