Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
Whenever I attend a potluck, folks always ask me to make my bacon-wrapped water chestnut recipe—it's become my trademark. I especially like to prepare them for holiday gatherings. —Debi Jellison, Jacksonville, Florida
Ingredients
- 1 pound sliced bacon
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) whole water chestnuts, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
Directions
- 1. Cut bacon strips into thirds; wrap a strip around each water chestnut and secure with a wooden toothpick. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° until bacon is crisp, 25 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine ketchup and brown sugar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove water chestnuts to paper towels; drain. Dip in ketchup mixture; place in a lightly greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over water chestnuts. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
