BACON - WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS
SAUCE
 
1 stick butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
6 tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. dried mustard
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 cans whole water chestnuts
Bacon

Melt butter in saucepan and add remaining ingredients. Stir until mixture is simmering. This should make enough sauce for 4 cans of water chestnuts.

Directions For Wrapping Water Chestnuts: Cut bacon into pieces big enough to wrap around water chestnut and place on cookie sheet seam down. After wrapping all chestnuts I put filled cookie sheet into freezer until they are firm enough to place in plastic bags until I am ready to cook them.

Cooking Instructions: Cook seam down in cake pan or something deep enough to hold excess grease at 350 degrees until browned. Drain on paper towels. I usually put baked water chestnuts in the crock pot and pour the sauce over them and cook on low just to keep warm (a chafing dish works well also). Avoid unnecessary stirring.

 Teresa McClanahan (Indiana) says:
Had something similar at a party and wanted to try it myself. These were excellent. Everyone That tried them loved them. Most recipes for these, just have sugar, ketchup and soy sauce but the extra ingredients of Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard made these much better. Passed the recipe around to everyone. Would make again!

I cooked the sauce as described, and then just let the chestnuts sit in the sauce for a couple hours came out perfectly! Then just wrap in bacon! Came out perfect! Everybody loved them!
