You need only four ingredients to make these delicious bacon-wrapped water chestnuts!
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
Instructions
1Prepare the water chestnuts
2Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Cut bacon strips into thirds and wind each piece around a water chestnut, securing it with a toothpick. Place them in a single layer on an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Bake till the bacon is crisp, for 25 minutes. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and do not turn off the oven.
3Prepare the sauce
4While the water chestnuts are baking, combine the ketchup and brown sugar in a small saucepan and cook, stirring, over medium heat, until the sugar is dissolved. Dip into the sauce and place into your prepared baking dish, working with one water chestnut at a time. Spoon the remaining sauce over the chestnuts and return to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes and serve.
