Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts with Sweet Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients and prepare the cooking space by preheating the oven to its optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
2
Mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium-sized bowl to create the base of your dish.
3
Cut the bacon strips into smaller pieces and wrap one slice around each chestnut, securing it with a toothpick to maintain its shape. Arrange the bacon-wrapped chestnuts in a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
4
Place the bacon-wrapped chestnuts in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing them to cook through.
5
Remove the bacon-wrapped chestnuts from the oven and carefully pour off some of the excess grease that has accumulated.
6
Pour the prepared ketchup sauce over the bacon-wrapped chestnuts, covering them evenly.
7
Continue baking until the bacon is crispy and the sauce has thickened to your liking, adding an additional 30 to 35 minutes to the cooking time.
