Total Time 55 minutes mins
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound bacon
- 2 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained
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.
