Spicy Ketchup Glazed Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts image

These will be a huge hit at your party! the recipe may be doubled or tripled, you may wrap all the chestnuts hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake --- try to purchase the thin sliced bacon for this then slice each strip into three pieces --- I use the Heinz spicy ketchup, if you cannot find the spicy ketchup just add in some cayenne pepper, also try to purchase the thicker long toothpicks :)

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb bacon, strips sliced in thirds
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts
3/4 cup spicy ketchup (Heinz spicy ketchup is good to use)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
long toothpick

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat; cook the spicy ketchup with the brown sugar, stirring until no sugar granules remain; set aside (this can be done up to a day in advance).
  • Dry each water chestnut using a paper towel.
  • Wrap one small slice of bacon tightly around each water chestnut, then secure with a toothpick.
  • Place into baking dish.
  • Lightly cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes or just until the bacon is crispy.
  • If desired you may bake uncovered for a couple of minutes just to crisp up the bacon more.
  • Remove from oven and drain the fat/grease.
  • Drizzle the prepared sauce mixture over each chestnut, return to oven and bake uncovered for about 8-10 minutes more.
