Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Ingredients:
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
6-10 dashes Tobasco (more or less depending on how much kick you like!)
1/2 to 1 tsp. soy sauce (to taste)
16 ounces sliced bacon
2 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cut bacon slices into thirds. Wrap chestnuts in bacon and secure with toothpicks; place in a 9x13 pan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes then pull pan out of the oven and remove as much bacon fat as possible.
4. While chestnuts are baking for the first 20 minutes - in a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tobasco, and soy sauce; heat just to boiling. Pour sauce over bacon and water chestnuts (after they have baked for 20 minutes)
5. Return sauced up chestnuts to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked.

One Word...
YUMMO! (I will certainly be making these babies again...probably for Thanksgiving!)
