Bacon Wrapped Goodness

Everybody loves bacon  . . . salty, crispy, fatty goodness.  Irresistible.  You can add bacon to almost anything and it’s going to taste good.  Well, bacon infused vodka I’m not so sure about.

Anyhoo . . . this recipe is an appetizer that I bring to most gatherings, parties and holiday occasions. Sweet, salty, crunchy . . . NOM!  It’s quick, it’s easy and it is super yummy!  Bacon wrapped water chestnuts are great to make ahead of time and reheated.

A real crowd pleaser!

Bacon wrapped water chestnuts

• 1/2 C Butter
• 3/4 C. Brown Sugar
• 6 Tbsp. Ketchup
• 1 Tsp. Dried Mustard
• 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
• 4 Cans Whole Water Chestnuts
• 1 Lb Bacon

For the sauce:
Add butter, brown sugar, ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire Sauce to a saucepan. Stir until mixture is simmering. This should make enough sauce for 4 cans of water chestnuts.

Wrapping Water Chestnuts:

Cut the bacon into thirds.  Wrap the bacon around the water chestnut and place seam side down in a baking pan.

Cooking Instructions:

Cook on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees until browned. Drain on paper towels. Place the baked water chestnuts in a serving dish and pour the sauce over them.  When you’re ready to serve, bake in a 350 degree oven until bubbly – about 15 – 20 minutes.  Avoid unnecessary stirring.
