Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts

 Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon

2 cans (8 ounces each) whole water chestnuts, rinsed and drained

1 cup ketchup

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Cut bacon strips into thirds; wrap a strip around each water chestnut and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° until bacon is crisp, 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine ketchup and brown sugar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove chestnuts to paper towels; drain. Dip in ketchup mixture; place in a lightly greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over chestnuts. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
