Salt and Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/8 cup honey
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder

In a Crock-Pot, place chuck roast. Salt and pepper it to your personal taste.
In a large bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients until well blended. Pour on top of the roast, cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Remove roast from Crock-Pot and shred meat with a fork. Return meat to Crock-Pot, stirring well to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for another hour and serve.

**If you trim the fat from the beef before cooking and blot the grease from the sauce, the fat is significantly lowered. This amount is not in the fat gram calculations. ( Saving Dinner, Leanne Ely, SavingDinner.com )
