Description

These bacon-wrapped water chestnuts are coated in a sauce of ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire, then baked to perfection for an easy appetizer.

Ingredients

2 cups ketchup
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pound bacon
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Combine ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl.
3 Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap one slice of bacon around each chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Arrange water chestnut wraps in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove water chestnut wraps from the oven and drain some grease. Pour ketchup sauce over wraps.
5 Bake until bacon is crispy and sauce thickens, 30 to 35 more minutes.
