BACON WRAPPED WHAT?!?


the SUPER BOWL is just around the corner.
sure i will watch some football and commercials that night,
but i shamelessly look forward to some good grub.

this recipe is our go-to every new year's eve.
my mom has taken it to their NYE party every year for over a decade.
i have followed her example and done the same.
it's so yummy i've decided it needs to be made multiple times this year.
it's a WINNER, just like the PATRIOTS will hopefully be!


BBQ CHESNUTS...
1 lb. bacon
2 cans whole water chestnuts
1 C ketchup
1/2 C sugar
toothpicks

1) preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) cut bacon in half horizontally and vertically 
(so each piece of bacon is now in four narrow strips).
3) wrap one strip around each water chestnut.
4) place on pan with the edge of the bacon touching the pan.


5) bake for 30 minutes.
6) remove pan from the oven and drain the grease.
7) mix the ketchup and sugar together.


8) pour the mixture over all the bacon wrapped water chestnuts.
9) bake for 30 more minutes.
10) remove from oven and insert a toothpick in each one.

I just thought of this recipe about a week ago- I worked at a restaurant one summer and the owner would take me out on catering jobs and he served these all of the time!
