Mikey loves pot roast and so I am always looking for ways to put a twist on our traditional meat and potatoes. During the summer I know many people have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash (and both are usually available out of season as well) so when I recently saw a roast that used both in one of my favorite cookbooks, it got me thinking. Inspired by that idea, I decided to use some tried and true flavors we love while incorporating yellow squash and zucchini.

  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Have you tried the roast part in the instant pot? I am going to just steam the squash. Thanks so much!

    I am concerned on my cooking time since my meat is a pound and a half more what would you suggest in cooking time

    How do you keep your squash from becoming totally mushy cooking them this long? I loved the flavor and the roast was cooked perfectly, but my squash was just mush. Next time I’ll put the squash in a couple of hours at the end but not for the entire cooking time. Still, a really great recipe.

      I just found this recipe and I was thinking the same thing….mushy squash! I will do as you suggested and add it later on in the cooking.

    I’m wondering if I left out the butter, would the taste be significantly different?
