Easy, disappearing appetizer - Bacon water chestnuts

Just in time for the holiday season... you will be a star of the night if you bring this to a party or serve it at your home!

This recipe is (with few modifications) from my grandpa who made this at many, many holidays - miss you, grandpa!

Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts
Makes 3-5 dozen, about 1 9x13 pan. Feeds 8-12. [Easily doubled!]

2 cans whole water chestnuts
2 small or 1 large package(s) pre-cooked bacon (20-30 slices)*
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 t. worchestershire sauce
Toothpicks

Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap 1 bacon half around 1 water chestnut. Secure with a toothpick and place toothpick side up in a baking dish. Continue until all water chestnuts are used.

For sauce, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and worchestershire sauce in a bowl and stir until mixed. Pour sauce over bacon wrapped water chestnuts in baking dish (it's okay if some gets on the toothpicks!).

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until hot and sauce is bubbly.

* You can also use raw bacon for this recipe. You may want to cut slices in 1/3s depending on the size. Prepare the rest of the recipe as instructed, but they will take an additional 10 minutes to bake.
