Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts
Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 Tablespoons butter
3 cans whole water chestnuts
14 slices thinly sliced bacon cut into 3 equal pieces
wooden toothpicks
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low, stirring occasionally until blended. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Drain chestnuts and rinse with water, drain again.
Take 1 short strip of bacon and wrap around 1 chestnut. Carefully push a toothpick through the ends of the bacon strip and chestnut.
Line a baking sheet with sides with foil and spray foil with baking spray. Place wrapped chestnuts on a baking sheet.
Place in oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until bacon is done to your liking.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, the chestnuts will retain a lot of heat in the centers.
Serve with sauce for dipping or place in a slow cooker set to warm setting and pour sauce over the chestnuts to keep warm.
Alternately, you can use a broiler pan. Spray bottom portion of the pan with baking spray, place the top on the broiler pan and spray top with baking spray. Place chestnut on top of the pan using the slats as holders for toothpicks.
