Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestunuts... One of My Go-To Appetizers
10/20/2009Ingredients:
2 cans whole water chestnuts
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 package bacon
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
toothpicks
Directions:
- Drain water chestnuts and soak in soy sauce for 15-30 minutes.
- Remove water chestnuts from soy sauce and wrap in 1/2 slice of bacon, skewer with toothpick, place in baking dish.
(Note: if water chestnuts are really small, 1/3 slice of bacon will work) - Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl.
- Remove baking dish from oven and drain grease from the dish.
- Dip skewered bacon-wrapped water chestnuts in ketchup mixture and place back in baking dish.
- Bake for another 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
If you are anti-water chestnut, or want two similar but different apps, you can substitute little smokies for the water chestnuts. Another plus... very easy to transport!
