Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts pair salty, crisp bacon with juicy, crunchy water chestnuts, all lacquered in a sticky ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire glaze. The contrast of textures and sweet-savory sauce makes them irresistible, perfect for game day spreads, potlucks, or holiday hors d’oeuvres.

Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
  1. 1

    Assemble all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl.

  3. 3

    Slice the bacon strips in half. Wrap each chestnut with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Place the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Take the water chestnut wraps out of the oven and drain some grease. Pour the ketchup sauce over the wraps.

  5. 5

    Bake until the bacon is crispy and the sauce thickens, 30 to 35 more minutes.
