Cook 4 hr 275 deg oven Strain, thicken juices. Add everything back in, serve with mashed potatoes The only fat is in the meat and bacon. So fat content depends on the size of your Christmas serving (and we all know we eat a little extra at Christmas)

Note: you can use chuck, instead of round, but the fat content soars.
