One Last Taste Of Summer
The kids will be heading back to school soon (if not already), which means those last minute BBQs are being scheduled. Maybe you are getting sick of the good ole hamburger and hot dog spread and are looking for something different to satisfy that barbecue feel on those summer nights?
I have teamed up with Wayfair to present to you my flavor of BBQ Bites! I must admit that I really never get sick of hamburgers and hot dogs, but I must say, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts do surpass them both! This recipe is incredibly easy, and I will almost guarantee you that whatever size pan you make of these, they WILL be gone. In other words, do not plan on any leftovers! This recipe promises to be a crowd pleaser!
Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts only take 4 ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, whole water chestnuts, and bacon (see full recipe at bottom of post)
Cut bacon into thirds. Wrap one whole water chestnut with bacon.
Secure with a toothpick
Continue to repeat the steps above until you have a pan full of goodness.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Mix together 1 cup of ketchup and 2/3 c. of brown sugar (if using 2 whole cans of water chestnuts). Cut ketchup and brown sugar amounts in half if only using one can of water chestnuts.
Take the pan out of the oven and spread sauce over bacon-wrapped water chestnuts.
Return to oven and bake another 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and ENJOY!
