Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl.
  • Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap one half slice of bacon around each water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Arrange water chestnuts in a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure bacon grease does not splatter in oven.
  • Remove water chestnuts from the oven. Drain off some of the bacon grease from the baking dish.
  • Pour ketchup mixture evenly over the water chestnut wraps.
  • Bake until bacon is crispy and sauce thickens, 30 - 35 more minutes. Watch carefully so bacon does not burn and bacon grease does not splatter in oven.
