Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
I struggle to find easy-to-eat, but also easy-to-make appetizers. Give me a main dish or dessert any day, but when it comes to appetizers, I often find myself trying to find the “right” item to take. This recipe, though it may take about 1 hour to cook, is honestly very easy to make, but is SUCH a crowd pleaser!
Whoever thought of putting bacon and water chestnuts together was a genius. That is another area where I struggle – pairing unlikely foods together. I am too simple. Give me a recipe and I can follow it, but when it comes to creating my own version of something, it’s a lost cause. This recipe combines 2 of my favorite foods into one bite-size piece of goodness! Next time you have to take an app to a special event or to just even surprise your family, the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts are must-try!
